UPDATE: It’s the infamous e-mail your parents keep sending to your out-of-state relatives…now available in a handy Web page! It’s chock full of rootin’, tootin’ bits of advice about how crazy life in Texas can be.
My personal favorites?
5. Remember: “Y’all” is singular. “All y’all” is plural. “All y’all’s” is plural possessive.
23. If you don’t understand our passion for college and high school football just keep your mouth shut.
The rest are much worse. But what do I know? See for yourself:

IT’S FUNNEH CAUSE IT’S TRUE!
I have yet to see this sort of obnoxiousness outside the States. Even Canadians don’t do this sort of crap.
OK the author needs some regional grammar lessons.
Y’all is actually third person plural which distinguishes it from the proper third person plural of “You” – the Northern equivalent is often “You guys.” My point is “All y’all” simply redundant which is why I likely never hear anyone actually use it.
