I just wanted to let everyone know I may not be technologically gifted like youse but I can crochet a hat and make really good sandwiches. Ok.

There is a secret to being technologically gifted. Read the instruction manuals. n/k

Yeah but some things are better when they are physically shown in person.

The man is scared I'm gonna blow up his speakers and his hearing so he got out the old computer speakers.

His fears are justified

We should use youse because the English language would benefit from a plural you; it’s Austalian instead of the y’all the yanks invented, and ye has gone out of fashion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Sure, but no. You is fine depending on the context. No need to boganise it.

Feel free to say youse, but I will judge the fuck out of you for it.

I sit on interview panels and if I hear youse or 'haitch' instead of 'aitch' it's points off

More than one 'you' I think. Perfectly reasonable. We need this.

I can make a good sandwich but not crochet a hat, so you’re one up on me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I can knit socks and make acceptable sandwiches but I’m not good at hats
