They, in the past, named an entire continent of first nation people, mistakenly, as "Indians." .., and we still do, and for some reason, the ingenious people, still also follow the convention. :)

For about 8 months in 2004, I was around a bunch of 20 somethings at work and I heard the word "sweet" more times than I had in my entire life by then.

I figured it was payback for using the word "cool" when I was their age.

No problem is akin to de nada (it is nothing) in Spanish. Other languages have similar responses to thanks.

You all makes perfect sense. It clearly defines that the speaker does not mean the singular individual in the conversation, but the group of people to which they belong. Y'all is just a contraction of that. All y'all is redundant. :)

My SIL used to say that she "retched" over to get something instead of "reached".

Now do "you-ins"... or is it "you-uns"?

I've seen times when I thought I was going to "Retch" after "Reaching" too far...
