Despite my internet being down again we have two new reviews today. Toriaz's review for Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly is the 200th book we have reviewed. The second review is Patrick White's Voss.
Bugger! Our internet just died again and I have two reviews due in the next day or two. Writing this on an iPad using a phone hotspot. Will have to start hassling our internet (non)provider again 😫
Re word clippings - yall: In Australia "youse" (pronounced like the sheep "ewes") is sometimes used to indicate the plural use of "you". It's considered unsophisticated, however, and has class associations. Is that used in America?
Hi!! It looks like youse is used in places like New York City and New Jersey, but by far the most well-known one here is yall, which non-southerners find very funny and primitive. I don't really blame them. I cannot listen to the New York accent without thinking of an uppity, well-off woman talking loudly on her phone while sipping cawfee.
