Y'all best not be high-falutin'* 

Why does Blogger spell-check try to replace "y'all" with "Yale"? I cannot possibly be the only person writing in the Southern vernacular.

*High falutin' -- Steamboats developed high, fluted stacks to spew the hot cinders and smoke away from the paying passengers. People rich enough to travel by steamboat were high falutin' folks.
