Laugh if you want to.
I'm reminded of a story, where the head Rabbi of Boston was asked to
address the congregation of the largest Catholic Church in a some sort
in inter-faith occasion.
He began with "I'm glad yoose guys are here".
A murmur ran through the crowd and escaped to climb the putpit and
bite the Rabbi on the butt.
Chastened, he quickly re-worded his introduction to "I'm glad you all
are here".
A breath of fresh air flowed in and the Rabbi's pants were
miraculously repaired.
He's now a rocket scientist here in Huntsville, and begins every
sentence with "Y'all". He's also a Baptist.
