Ok, everyone. I've been on this list about 2 weeks now, and I just this evening, figured it out!!!! Then, I get back on-line, and lo and behold, I wasn't the only one!!! I think it's a really neat idea!!! FYI: According to my book, "How To Speak Southern", written by Steve Mitchell, (whick I keep right next to my Websters Dictionary), everyone has mispelled the word that means "you all". The correct spelling is 'YAWL'. Yawl have a good one!!!
