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?

Has anyone else received requests from a porn company to advertise on their website?

Got one of those about a year after I started my site, but haven't had that happen in a long time.

Truly disgusting how far those companies want to stretch and expand the industry to as many people as possible. But hey, it makes 'em money, what would they care?

I wasn't trying to make a judgment about porn. I just thought our website was such a poor fit for advertising porn that we must have received a spam offer that went out to most neocities sites.

Despite 10 days without an internet connection (see our About/blog page for details) we've managed to post another review: The Noise of Time by Julian Barnes. Hoping things will be back to normal by tomorrow

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.
