  I Hate Talking: Welcome to episode 108 of I Hate Talking.
• 0:33
  I Hate Talking: Hi everyone.
• 0:33
  I Hate Talking: I said everyone.
• 0:35
  I Hate Talking: I think I always say everyone intro.
• 0:39
  I Hate Talking: It would have been clever if you had said hello y'all.
• 0:42
  I Hate Talking: Oh we can restart.
• 0:44
  I Hate Talking: Well, it's already recorded.
• 0:46
  I Hate Talking: It's in the, in the history books now.
• 0:48
  I Hate Talking: -- There's nothing called -- editing.
• 0:50
  I Hate Talking: Nothing called editing.
• 0:51
  I Hate Talking: If you haven't guessed it, y'all is our word or phrase of the upset.
• 0:55
  I Hate Talking: -- All -- right.
• 0:55
  I Hate Talking: And then there's also other variations of a group of people like all y'all, -- all -- y'all, yeah, use.
• 1:05
  I Hate Talking: OK, yeah, I've heard that.
• 1:08
  I Hate Talking: I don't think I've ever said it.
• 1:09
  I Hate Talking: You guys, hey guys.
• 1:13
  I Hate Talking: I think that counts.
• 1:15
  I Hate Talking: That doesn't count.
• 1:15
  I Hate Talking: Uh, what is it, what did you say?
• 1:19
  I Hate Talking: Guys, guys.
• 1:22
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, but that's like not necessarily an inclusive term.
• 1:25
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, it is.
• 1:27
  I Hate Talking: What if there's girls?
• 1:28
  I Hate Talking: Oh no, it definitely counts as girls too.
• 1:31
  I Hate Talking: I see.
• 1:32
  I Hate Talking: Maybe on the west coast.
• 1:33
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I think so.
• 1:34
  I Hate Talking: So.
• 1:35
  I Hate Talking: I guess you can give some history on your experience with y'all and all y'all.
• 1:42
  I Hate Talking: It's obviously something I've heard for a very long time, but not.
• 1:47
  I Hate Talking: Culturally, where I grew up, so growing up it was guys or dudes.
• 1:52
  I Hate Talking: Gang, hey gang, hey guys, and stuff like that.
• 1:57
  I Hate Talking: So yeah, boys, girls, it didn't matter.
• 1:59
  I Hate Talking: Um, I just met more than one person and then somehow when we moved south.
• 2:05
  I Hate Talking: We heard it a lot, and at some point, it just got part of my vocabulary.
• 2:12
  I Hate Talking: And I don't even think I realized how much of my vocabulary was till I moved north.
• 2:18
  I Hate Talking: I say y'all occasionally, maybe, but I say all y'all a lot, and the difference between the two is y'all, it's just like a group of people, but all y'all, all of you, like a larger group of people.
• 2:35
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, it's a little bit more emphatic, I think.
• 2:40
  I Hate Talking: Y'all can be like the group of people, but if you want to really make sure that you're talking about everyone, and you're stating that you're talking about everyone, it's all y'all.
• 2:50
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, so I think as an example, say we're talking to our neighbors, I say, y'all wanna come over to play some cornhole, or I could say, all y'all want to come over, like, so there's different.
• 3:03
  I Hate Talking: Y'all, meaning that neighbor next to us, or all y'all means like the whole neighborhood.
• 3:09
  I Hate Talking: We're gonna invite multiple houses.
• 3:12
  I Hate Talking: Yes, I suppose so.
• 3:13
  I Hate Talking: I also heard all y'all be maybe a little bit more disciplinary in emphasis, like you would be more friendly with y'all and then if you're saying all y'all, it's more like you need to do something or you need to shape up.
• 3:28
  I Hate Talking: You don't think so?
• 3:29
  I Hate Talking: No, I don't know.
• 3:30
  I Hate Talking: I'm trying to think of when that would happen.
• 3:33
  I Hate Talking: I don't think I have that same connotation to it.
• 3:36
  I Hate Talking: Like if there's a whole bunch of people that maybe have camped and there's a variety of trash on the ground, you could say y'all need to clean up, or you could be a little bit more emphatic with it and say, all y'all need to clean up.
• 3:52
  I Hate Talking: OK, yeah, I see what you're saying.
• 3:54
  I Hate Talking: Um, part of its tone maybe, but also all y'all, that means everyone needs to clean up.
• 4:00
  I Hate Talking: You can't just be like, uh, I didn't make that mess.
• 4:02
  I Hate Talking: I'm not gonna clean up.
• 4:03
  I Hate Talking: So if y'all are clean, y'all need to clean up.
• 4:06
  I Hate Talking: Someone else is gonna clean up, but all y'all means you all, every, everyone has to clean up, not just assume other, other people are gonna do it.
• 4:15
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 4:17
  I Hate Talking: So how would you say it in standard English?
• 4:19
  I Hate Talking: Would you just say everyone needs to clean up?
• 4:21
  I Hate Talking: Well, I wonder what standard is.
• 4:24
  I Hate Talking: Cause maybe standard is all y'all, so, or you guys, or dudes, or would you say you.
• 4:33
  I Hate Talking: Well, there's Pennsylvania Dutch where it would be you.
• 4:37
  I Hate Talking: As sort of like the singular person, you as the smaller group of people, and yous as like everybody.
• 4:45
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 4:46
  I Hate Talking: So I'm just saying that what's, when you're saying standard English, they get really, I don't know if there's a standard.
• 4:54
  I Hate Talking: Well, I'm just meaning like without any particular contractions.
• 4:58
  I Hate Talking: You would just say you all, -- or would you -- say everyone?
• 5:03
  I Hate Talking: All of you, all of you, all of you children must clean up.
• 5:07
  I Hate Talking: All of you neighbors are invited.
• 5:11
  I Hate Talking: All the neighbors are invited to cornhole.
• 5:14
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, but it needs to be directed at them, so it'd be all of you neighbors.
• 5:18
  I Hate Talking: All neighbors, you come over here.
• 5:21
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 5:23
  I Hate Talking: Well, maybe the South got it right then.
• 5:25
  I Hate Talking: It's just easier to use y'all and all y'all, yeah.
• 5:28
  I Hate Talking: So what would you say that or what do you think sounds more standard?
• 5:34
  I Hate Talking: Well, you could just go back to archaic English and use the vowels and y.
• 5:40
  I Hate Talking: So all ye y'all, ye is already plural ye.
• 5:47
  I Hate Talking: But y'all's plural too.
• 5:50
  I Hate Talking: Yes, but I'm just saying thou is singular.
• 5:53
  I Hate Talking: Like you.
• 5:55
  I Hate Talking: Well, you in the English can be plural or singular.
• 5:59
  I Hate Talking: Really?
• 6:00
  I Hate Talking: I think so, right?
• 6:01
  I Hate Talking: That's why thou and ye is better distinguished.
• 6:05
  I Hate Talking: When is you plural?
• 6:06
  I Hate Talking: Well, there's the Bible verse that all the King James people cite that gives a very clear distinction.
• 6:13
  I Hate Talking: Let me look it up now, since you have a puzzled look on your face, and now I can prove to you that King James is better.
• 6:19
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 6:20
  I Hate Talking: Oh, this particular verse uses thee as a singular, but same applies for thou, and then ye being the plural.
• 6:30
  I Hate Talking: So, and Jesus is talking to Nicodemus in John chapter 3, and which did you want me to read first, ESV or KJV?
• 6:39
  I Hate Talking: KJV KJV marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again.
• 6:46
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 6:48
  I Hate Talking: Whereas the English Standard Version says, do not marvel that I said to you, you must be born again.
• 6:54
  I Hate Talking: That's how I related it when you said that.
• 6:57
  I Hate Talking: I translated it in my head to that.
• 6:59
  I Hate Talking: So why is that?
• 7:01
  I Hate Talking: Why is it different words?
• 7:04
  I Hate Talking: Why does it matter?
• 7:05
  I Hate Talking: Well, Jesus is, I guess, quoting himself, we don't necessarily have this, I guess, recorded that he has said this before, but he's talking to Nicodemus, marvel not that I said unto thee, Nicodemus, but he's in a larger group of people that are listening to him.
• 7:22
  I Hate Talking: And maybe he had said this previously, y as in y'all must be born again.
• 7:29
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, but wait, I forgot which one I'm arguing.
• 7:33
  I Hate Talking: I did I say you is plural or not plural?
• 7:37
  I Hate Talking: You're, I think, maintaining that you is singular.
• 7:40
  I Hate Talking: And exclusively singular.
• 7:43
  I Hate Talking: Hm OK.
• 7:46
  I Hate Talking: All right, if that's my stance.
• 7:48
  I Hate Talking: Then I can see it's confusing.
• 7:52
  I Hate Talking: But yeah, but it's still personalized.
• 7:55
  I Hate Talking: You must be born again.
• 7:56
  I Hate Talking: Not like the whole group.
• 7:58
  I Hate Talking: -- You guys are doing this -- together.
• 8:00
  I Hate Talking: You have a false understanding of scripture because of poor English translations or transliterations, as some people say.
• 8:08
  I Hate Talking: What Jesus is addressing Nicodemus specifically, but he's applying the truth to the crowd.
• 8:14
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, but I'm saying that each person has to do this.
• 8:18
  I Hate Talking: It's not a group effort.
• 8:21
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, but he's not talking just to Nicodemus.
• 8:23
  I Hate Talking: Right, I get that, but I'm saying, so you're arguing for individual responsibility, yeah.
• 8:31
  I Hate Talking: I see, yes.
• 8:33
  I Hate Talking: Well, I think I've seen people misinterpret that particular scripture where they're saying that this exact message is for Nicodemus alone.
• 8:42
  I Hate Talking: Everyone has to be saved.
• 8:44
  I Hate Talking: So the whole message of Nicodemus is only to him, not to the whole like all people.
• 8:51
  I Hate Talking: If you read you in modern English translations and only think that you is singular, yes.
• 8:57
  I Hate Talking: -- That's how you would have to read -- that.
• 8:59
  I Hate Talking: Now, first, I don't think of it that way, so I do not have an improper view, but secondary.
• 9:08
  I Hate Talking: I think you can say it to a crowd and everyone individualizes it.
• 9:15
  I Hate Talking: Yes.
• 9:16
  I Hate Talking: Which is I think what he was doing.
• 9:18
  I Hate Talking: This isn't like that everybody contributes a little bit.
• 9:24
  I Hate Talking: This is a you and God only thing.
• 9:27
  I Hate Talking: But everyone needs to have that vertical relationship with God.
• 9:32
  I Hate Talking: Well, there you go.
• 9:34
  I Hate Talking: So, My point was that you.
• 9:39
  I Hate Talking: As a standalone word is not very specific.
• 9:43
  I Hate Talking: It can mean One person or multiple people.
• 9:47
  I Hate Talking: And therefore I'm just saying that the thou versus ye or you versus y'all or all y'all is probably actually a better.
• 9:55
  I Hate Talking: Categorization of.
• 9:58
  I Hate Talking: The audience to which you're speaking.
• 10:01
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 10:02
  I Hate Talking: See, I think, OK, I guess maybe I'm backtracking if I'm saying that.
• 10:06
  I Hate Talking: He was always singular.
• 10:09
  I Hate Talking: From earlier, because think about when you're talking to a choir.
• 10:14
  I Hate Talking: And or like a band that's practicing.
• 10:18
  I Hate Talking: You're like, hey, you did a great job.
• 10:20
  I Hate Talking: You're talking to them, but you're also saying each one did a good job?
• 10:25
  I Hate Talking: I'm not saying like drummer, you did a good job.
• 10:29
  I Hate Talking: I'm saying as the whole, or as you're talking to the team, I guess, putting it back to what Jesus said, instead of congratulating them, being like, You need to be there at 8 o'clock.
• 10:40
  I Hate Talking: And I'm talking to the group.
• 10:43
  I Hate Talking: That means each one of them must be there at 8 o'clock.
• 10:46
  I Hate Talking: So I think it's a given that I'm talking to the whole.
• 10:50
  I Hate Talking: But it's each person must do this.
• 10:53
  I Hate Talking: Does that make sense?
• 10:56
  I Hate Talking: Yeah.
• 10:56
  I Hate Talking: Or maybe they thought you're only talking to one person and they misunderstood the instruction and then they got there at 9 a.m.
• 11:03
  I Hate Talking: because they thought you were just talking to one person, -- which -- is why all of y'all makes more sense.
• 11:10
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 11:11
  I Hate Talking: Because then they would know that I was talking to each one of them individually.
• 11:14
  I Hate Talking: As a whole.
• 11:16
  I Hate Talking: Precisely.
• 11:17
  I Hate Talking: So according to our favorite American Heritage dictionary, There are 3 definitions of you.
• 11:26
  I Hate Talking: And number one is used to refer to the one or ones being addressed.
• 11:32
  I Hate Talking: So their example sentences are, I'll lend you the book or you shouldn't work so hard.
• 11:40
  I Hate Talking: And then it also refers to y'all and yous.
• 11:43
  I Hate Talking: So there's cross definitions to those, maybe we'll take a look at those.
• 11:48
  I Hate Talking: Number 22, used to refer to an indefinitely specified person.
• 11:53
  I Hate Talking: You can't win them all.
• 11:55
  I Hate Talking: Though I feel like that is sort of still directed to a person that you're talking to.
• 12:00
  I Hate Talking: And then 3 is a non-standard used reflexively as an indirect object of the verb.
• 12:08
  I Hate Talking: You might want to get another pair of shoes.
• 12:12
  I Hate Talking: And it comes from the Middle English, from the Old English.
• 12:17
  I Hate Talking: And there's a whole bunch, but There's G, y, you, and you.
• 12:24
  I Hate Talking: You with a G.
• 12:29
  I Hate Talking: No, you you.
• 12:31
  I Hate Talking: And then the cross reference to y'all is a chiefly southern US pronoun, which is a variant of you all, and then cross links to that.
• 12:44
  I Hate Talking: And then You all is used in addressing two or more people or referring to two or more people, one of whom is addressed.
• 12:54
  I Hate Talking: Hm And then Us, upper southern US.
• 13:00
  I Hate Talking: I thought this was.
• 13:01
  I Hate Talking: Pennsylvania Dutch, maybe not.
• 13:03
  I Hate Talking: Basically the same thing, use in addressing two or more people.
• 13:07
  I Hate Talking: Well, upper southern, I guess, right?
• 13:10
  I Hate Talking: Isn't technically.
• 13:11
  I Hate Talking: Like Gettysburg and stuff like that, like where the line is.
• 13:18
  I Hate Talking: Mason-Dixie line or whatnot.
• 13:21
  I Hate Talking: I guess so.
• 13:23
  I Hate Talking: Maybe the American Heritage Dictionary is a little bit biased towards the South.
• 13:28
  I Hate Talking: Yeah.
• 13:29
  I Hate Talking: So now I'm searching if there's a word list for Pennsylvania Dutch for you all.
• 13:35
  I Hate Talking: Let's see if we can find it.
• 13:37
  I Hate Talking: No, it's not apparently in here.
• 13:40
  I Hate Talking: We'll go to the wise.
• 13:41
  I Hate Talking: Not finding it interesting.
• 13:44
  I Hate Talking: What are you looking like you're looking in the American heritage.
• 13:49
  I Hate Talking: No, I just use duck go and search PA Dutch -- for you -- all.
• 13:55
  I Hate Talking: We're not gonna have a good luck with that because Pennsylvania Dutch wouldn't have the internet, right?
• 14:01
  I Hate Talking: Maybe.
• 14:02
  I Hate Talking: Just kidding.
• 14:04
  I Hate Talking: But Amish aren't supposed to have the internet.
• 14:07
  I Hate Talking: Well, I thought they were allowed to have it in their little call booth.
• 14:11
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 14:12
  I Hate Talking: I think it depends on what sex they're part of, right?
• 14:15
  I Hate Talking: I suppose so.
• 14:16
  I Hate Talking: So, there you go.
• 14:19
  I Hate Talking: Perhaps some more questions than answers, but at least we have defined.
• 14:23
  I Hate Talking: You, y'all, all y'all.
• 14:26
  I Hate Talking: Yz The, thee, thou, lots of different particular descriptive articles -- or pronouns -- all for the same thing.
• 14:37
  I Hate Talking: No, they're not for the same thing, they're for different things, singular versus plural, I guess.
• 14:42
  I Hate Talking: They can all be singular and sometimes plural.
• 14:46
  I Hate Talking: Look at the letter Y.
• 14:48
  I Hate Talking: No, E is not ever singular.
• 14:50
  I Hate Talking: I don't think that y'all or all y'all would be singular either.
• 14:54
  I Hate Talking: That's always a group of people, 2 or more.
• 14:57
  I Hate Talking: Mm Yes.
• 15:01
  I Hate Talking: You guess, this is patently true.
• 15:05
  I Hate Talking: Ye y'all, all y'all yous.
• 15:08
  I Hate Talking: All greater than one.
• 15:10
  I Hate Talking: 2 or greater.
• 15:12
  I Hate Talking: You can't say to like one person, y'all, you would just say you.
• 15:16
  I Hate Talking: Yes.
• 15:18
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 15:20
  I Hate Talking: I think I don't have a problem with it.
• 15:22
  I Hate Talking: I think I would understand what they were getting at.
• 15:25
  I Hate Talking: But you're right, like, typically you wouldn't say it.
• 15:29
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 15:30
  I Hate Talking: I don't think I would ever say it.
• 15:32
  I Hate Talking: I don't think I would ever use ye y'all or all y'all.
• 15:35
  I Hate Talking: OK, so sometimes plural, sometimes it's singular, and sometimes it's no.
• 15:41
  I Hate Talking: I'm maintaining that You, y'all, and all y'all are always plural.
• 15:47
  I Hate Talking: Wait, say that again?
• 15:49
  I Hate Talking: You, y'all, and all y'all are always plural.
• 15:53
  I Hate Talking: Y'all, y'all is always plural, -- multiple what -- you're saying, multiple people, -- 2 or -- more, I don't know.
• 16:02
  I Hate Talking: Well, that's what the American Heritage Dictionary says, so you're gonna argue with that, maybe.
• 16:07
  I Hate Talking: Or not.
• 16:08
  I Hate Talking: I'm not in a fighting mood, so it's OK.
• 16:12
  I Hate Talking: I'll let them say it.
• 16:13
  I Hate Talking: And then what's singular always?
• 16:16
  I Hate Talking: I don't think there is a singular or always that we use in modern English.
• 16:21
  I Hate Talking: The only thing that I'm aware of would be thee and thou.
• 16:24
  I Hate Talking: That is one specific person.
• 16:26
  I Hate Talking: OK, so thee and thou is always singular.
• 16:30
  I Hate Talking: Correct.
• 16:31
  I Hate Talking: OK And the rest of them can sway either way.
• 16:37
  I Hate Talking: We have to use our best judgment.
• 16:39
  I Hate Talking: No, what?
• 16:40
  I Hate Talking: -- What -- are you saying?
• 16:42
  I Hate Talking: I'm saying ye, y'all, and all y'all are always plural.
• 16:45
  I Hate Talking: -- I need -- like a whiteboard.
• 16:46
  I Hate Talking: You need your Venn diagram.
• 16:48
  I Hate Talking: Yes, can you make me one?
• 16:51
  I Hate Talking: So ye, but no.
• 16:53
  I Hate Talking: I don't need a Venn diagram cause you're saying some of them aren't either one.
• 16:58
  I Hate Talking: So I said then the rest of them could be singular or plural, and then you said no.
• 17:04
  I Hate Talking: No, that I'm saying that some of them are exclusively plural.
• 17:09
  I Hate Talking: The archaic ones are exclusively singular, and then.
• 17:13
  I Hate Talking: By itself, you could go either way, and then you would have to infer that by context.
• 17:18
  I Hate Talking: So you would make a circle with you.
• 17:20
  I Hate Talking: Just YO you in the middle.
• 17:23
  I Hate Talking: Yes, and I can infer that you're talking about just me and not me and the audience.
• 17:28
  I Hate Talking: From the way that you said that I would do this.
• 17:31
  I Hate Talking: And then you would Make a circle on the side, cutting into that, that would have thee and thou.
• 17:41
  I Hate Talking: The end that would be on the.
• 17:44
  I Hate Talking: Crescent shape.
• 17:46
  I Hate Talking: -- Do I actually need to draw the picture and -- then on the other maybe and then on the other side would be.
• 17:54
  I Hate Talking: All y'all Y'all and Another one.
• 18:01
  I Hate Talking: It's not even that late.
• 18:03
  I Hate Talking: Why is my brain not working well?
• 18:05
  I Hate Talking: So we have a full circle on the left and a full circle on the right, and they overlap.
• 18:13
  I Hate Talking: So on the left is the Singular With thee and thou you just fixed it.
• 18:23
  I Hate Talking: You did it.
• 18:23
  I Hate Talking: Oh man, what a cheater.
• 18:26
  I Hate Talking: I did fix it.
• 18:27
  I Hate Talking: -- I had mistakenly written ye in the left side ye -- in both circles.
• 18:32
  I Hate Talking: Now I fix it.
• 18:33
  I Hate Talking: For you to talk, stop talking so I could say something about that.
• 18:37
  I Hate Talking: OK, so we have less circle.
• 18:39
  I Hate Talking: Thee and thou singular on the right side, exclusively plural, ye y'all and all y'all, and then in the middle overlapping that can be either singular or plural is you, OK.
• 18:51
  I Hate Talking: Now it makes sense.
• 18:53
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I can see that.
• 18:55
  I Hate Talking: If those are the only words we're talking about, I thought there were more words connected that we were discussing.
• 19:01
  I Hate Talking: Well, there was units in there, but I think we tabled that one cause maybe I was incorrect about that being Pennsylvania Dutch and it's Upper Southern, whatever that is.
• 19:12
  I Hate Talking: So there you go.
• 19:15
  I Hate Talking: Well, I'll have to draw a better copy of the Venn diagram, and then we can post that in the show notes.

  I Hate Talking: I'll post my original scribble.
• 19:23
  I Hate Talking: There you go.
• 19:24
  I Hate Talking: Or we can just have AI clean that up.
• 19:27
  I Hate Talking: The AI is not good at words and pictures.
• 19:29
  I Hate Talking: No, it's not.
• 19:30
  I Hate Talking: It's good at pictures or it's Less good at words Yeah, the words often, yeah, the words often look like a different language.
• 19:39
  I Hate Talking: All scribbly indeed.
• 19:42
  I Hate Talking: I, uh, for Christmas last year, made my nieces and nephews, uh, Christmas ornaments.
• 19:49
  I Hate Talking: And I used AI.
• 19:51
  I Hate Talking: To help me, and it wasn't until, like, wrapping them or, you know, like I was too far in that I realized that they misspelled one of their names, and I know I didn't do it, like, I spelled the name correctly, cause the other thing, cause it was double sided, so the one side was spelled correct, and then I added a picture to the other side.
• 20:14
  I Hate Talking: And then they changed the lettering.
• 20:17
  I Hate Talking: I just had to apologize.
• 20:19
  I Hate Talking: Indeed.
• 20:21
  I Hate Talking: So I guess before we wrap up the episode, we have to address one other word that we use every episode, and that is everyone.
• 20:28
  I Hate Talking: So is everyone, everyone?
• 20:30
  I Hate Talking: Oh.
• 20:31
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I think so, yeah, you're right, cuz I.
• 20:35
  I Hate Talking: And we probably say that a lot.
• 20:37
  I Hate Talking: I know I always say it, it just ended up being.
• 20:39
  I Hate Talking: I said in the beginning, hi everyone.
• 20:42
  I Hate Talking: But I think everyone has to be everyone.
• 20:45
  I Hate Talking: Anybody within earshot of listening.
• 20:48
  I Hate Talking: So you're not greeting the entire world.
• 20:50
  I Hate Talking: You're just greeting anyone that's listening.
• 20:53
  I Hate Talking: I think so.
• 20:55
  I Hate Talking: And within earshot, so they could be like somebody's listening to this on a speaker and somebody happens to overhear it.
• 21:02
  I Hate Talking: You're you're greeting that person too.
• 21:04
  I Hate Talking: I'm saying hi to them too.
• 21:05
  I Hate Talking: I'm not saying hi to like the like no one listening.
• 21:09
  I Hate Talking: The nether, I think you mean the ether.
• 21:13
  I Hate Talking: Wait, another like ether, yeah, maybe.
• 21:17
  I Hate Talking: I think I'm in another portal.
• 21:20
  I Hate Talking: I suppose so.
• 21:22
  I Hate Talking: So the ether, yeah, so it's not just like into the.
• 21:26
  I Hate Talking: Great Dark blackness.
• 21:30
  I Hate Talking: I'm saying hi to people who can hear me.
• 21:34
  I Hate Talking: Or read it.
• 21:36
  I Hate Talking: If you can't, if you aren't hearing it, maybe you're reading the transcript.
• 21:39
  I Hate Talking: That's true, yeah, you're greeting people that are not listening, perhaps they're reading.
• 21:45
  I Hate Talking: That's very inclusive of you.
• 21:46
  I Hate Talking: Do you think you're saying, when you say everyone?
• 21:51
  I Hate Talking: I don't know if I use that specifically.
• 21:56
  I Hate Talking: To address people that we're talking to on the podcast.
• 21:59
  I Hate Talking: I say you, our listeners.
• 22:01
  I Hate Talking: It's like an inclusive group of people, so not the person that's overhearing this because they are not a listener, they're not engaged and taking part in.
• 22:10
  I Hate Talking: This shared experience.
• 22:12
  I Hate Talking: I think I'm really tired.
• 22:16
  I Hate Talking: Say that again.
• 22:17
  I Hate Talking: What?
• 22:18
  I Hate Talking: So you're not saying hi to.
• 22:21
  I Hate Talking: People listening.
• 22:23
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, you must be tired.
• 22:25
  I Hate Talking: I'm talking about the people that are overhearing the podcast on people that are actually listening to it on speaker.
• 22:30
  I Hate Talking: OK, so you only are talking, addressing people that are intentionally listening?
• 22:37
  I Hate Talking: Yes, the listeners.
• 22:38
  I Hate Talking: Hm But what if someone overhears and then they're like, hey, I wanna be part of the group too.
• 22:46
  I Hate Talking: Then they can become a listener and then all my previous greetings will apply to them.
• 22:51
  I Hate Talking: They have to subscribe first or something.
• 22:55
  I Hate Talking: -- Like and subscribe and -- then and then you'll address them.
• 22:59
  I Hate Talking: Yes.
• 23:00
  I Hate Talking: OK.
• 23:01
  I Hate Talking: I'm trying to remember back, I don't know if I really specifically address people on the podcast as an all-inclusive group.
• 23:08
  I Hate Talking: It's always you, our listeners, or let us know, yeah, like, you'll be like, let us know.
• 23:16
  I Hate Talking: I'm sure this is not like exclusively true.
• 23:19
  I Hate Talking: I'm sure there's a possibility that I've said everyone or Something of that nature, but The majority of the time I will refer to the people listening as You are a listener, and I even say you, and I think I sort of mean like the individual you in that.
• 23:38
  I Hate Talking: Like I'm talking to that listener, not like you are listeners as a whole, but you are a listener.
• 23:45
  I Hate Talking: But isn't it maybe even cause usually you are talking.
• 23:50
  I Hate Talking: As a directive Like you Like and subscribe or you message us or whatnot, like it's, it's an imperative.
• 24:02
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, there you go.
• 24:03
  I Hate Talking: And not a friendly greeting.
• 24:05
  I Hate Talking: Well, that's probably a difference between you and me.
• 24:08
  I Hate Talking: You're the friendly greeter and I am not.
• 24:10
  I Hate Talking: There you go, maybe that is the difference.
• 24:13
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I mean, even our closing, I'm telling them an imperative statement.
• 24:18
  I Hate Talking: Yeah Interesting.
• 24:21
  I Hate Talking: I think that's very, yeah, very personality driven then I suppose so that I wanna engage in relational.
• 24:29
  I Hate Talking: Interactions where you're more uh structured or Work oriented Task oriented, task oriented.
• 24:39
  I Hate Talking: Yes, I'm so sorry.
• 24:41
  I Hate Talking: Why is my brain is so slow tonight.
• 24:44
  I Hate Talking: So all those tasks include liking, subscribing, sharing.
• 24:50
  I Hate Talking: And remembering I'm bad at that one, especially tonight.
• 24:55
  I Hate Talking: I suppose so.
• 24:56
  I Hate Talking: So we'll close with that imperative statement that we have now since concluded is an imperative statement.
• 25:02
  I Hate Talking: So, you, our listener must remember, because from your friends at I hate talking, until next time, remember, it is only through talking that we begin the journey to understanding.
