This picture makes me cry for 2 reasons:

1. The grammar
2. The fact that we celiacs can consume NOTHING at this restaurant.

I totally agree Annie. I was on the website hoping that they'd added something new and gluten free to the menu...no such luck. Then it insulted me with bad grammar.

Actually, I prefer "youse". Our language has been impoverished to the point that second-person-singular and second-person-plural are indistinguishable. It's ambiguity all over the place.

When you hear "youse", at least you know beyond a doubt that it's "you" plural. No uncertainty.

And you also know that the person addressing your group has the IQ of a kumquat, so you can break off the conversation right there. It's win-win, really.

Of course, "youse" is nothing compared to "rtzuigpn", which is my secret-access-blog-comment word for today.
