Jen: Where are you at the moment, Kelly? I didn't notice Carolyn's 
spelling. I've never seen it written as y'all to be quite honest, or 
knew there was a difference between addressing a single person or 
group. 'Cause if you're addressing a single person you just 
say 'you'. 

Jen, quite pleased we've been a bad influence on Carolyn no matter 
how she spelled it ;).
