>>8633354
there is a slight decline in woof proportional to single instances of bark, however woof resumes at a slightly reduced rate proportional to a secondary instance of bark

my team's hypothesis is that for every bark in the series n+1... n+x we will see an identical drop preceding a resumption in woof at a diminishing rate so that over time w[b sub nx] as b approaches ∞ = 0, assuming our grant proposal goes through these promise to be very exciting times in our understanding of dog barkings

> >English doesn't have a better plural 2nd person pronoun
It does - 'you'.

It does have a 2nd person *singular* pronoun. (mostly, some dialects retain 'thou')

>>8633459
Have you never read dialogue in a book before? Do people only speak "properly" in books?

>>8633458
You do, you use "you" for both plural and singular.
It's painful, but that's life.

>>8633583
* It does *not* have a 2s pronoun.

>>8633458
>2nd person is "you"

Thou must study English more thoroughly.

>>8633639
Plebs use "you" for first person singular.
Th'art a true pleb.

>you guys

What's interesting to me is that every region tends to make its own plural you to make up for the absence.

Y'all, y'uns, youse, you guys, etc. It's a gap that people naturally fix themselves.

Also, y'all need to lrn2lingistics and stop being such goddamn prescriptivists.

>>8634703
No I'm just mad when those damn liberal yankee women appropriate muh culture because they think the word makes them sound like some sweet and condescendingly wise old woman.

>>8634721
I get that. I also get mad when people up here hear my southern ass saying it and start making comments about me using Ebonics. Fuck you, where do you think they got it?

I'm a tour guide (eng/ger/slovak) and I like to start off visibly american groups with "howdy" and "y'all". Make them feel right at home.

>tourisme

>>8635389
It doesn't, but it probably amuses them to see a Germano-Slav trying to be a cowboy. Which is fine too.

>>8635806
wrong bro, I would find this >>8635389 either fucking adorable or really sexy depending on who was saying it

I am going to visit Bratislava soon, hopefully you're my guide m8

DELET THIS, PERVERT

>>8633458
Irish and Scottish people still use "ye"

>>8637101
Just use dere.

>>8637101
Not quite.

They use 'you', but their pronunciation of it, along with the entire north of England, is 'jə', written 'ye'.

North-East England still uses the original Anglo-Saxon genitive form 'eower'.

>>8633458
In Australia we say yous. Very handy
