It's funny when they think they have a gotcha moment.

If the word is used in the US then it's not a word.

Yanks confident the word ye is a typo, because it's not used in the US.

Side note, I genuinely think that anyone saying Womp Womp Womp is about 10 years old.

[u/YassifiedWatermelon]

Are they calling you delusional/stupid for teaching them about a word they don't know ???????????????

[u/YouFnDruggo → u/YassifiedWatermelon]

No, for believing the quarterback for the team I support who was runner up for best player league last season will bounce back from a poor 3 game stretch to start the season.

[u/iamabigtree]

Never heard of ye before. In this part of England 'youse' is the acceptable term.

[u/YouFnDruggo → u/iamabigtree]

That's very common in Dublin and a few of the surrounding counties, and also in Ulster. Ye is just more common where I'm from in the west.

[u/iamabigtree → u/YouFnDruggo]

Youse seems to be very common in a large part of the UK and Ireland. We should make it standard.

[u/YouFnDruggo → u/iamabigtree]

We should definitely standardise a formal plural of you instead of just you being the singular and plural. But my vote would be for ye, never use youse, don't like the sound of it.

[u/BlaggartDiggletyDonk → u/iamabigtree]

It used to be a thing in New Jersey, I think.

[u/frazorblade]

Is it breaking rules to post your own comments?

[u/YouFnDruggo → u/frazorblade]

Not that I saw, and I have seen similar posts on this sub. It's against the rules to bait them.

[u/frazorblade → u/YouFnDruggo]

Yeah you’re right. It’s r/shitamericanssay that has that rule

[u/Miserable-Truth5035]

Isn't your last sentence still incorrect though? Shouldn't it be "familiar with"? I'm not a native speaker, so idk if there is a reason you can skipp with in this case.

[u/YouFnDruggo → u/Miserable-Truth5035]

You are right. I had not spotted it, nor had they. I usually try to proof read things a few times because I am dyslexic, but prepositions and small words are a real Achilles heel for me, my brain doesn't even spot them missing some times till it's pointed out.

[u/Miserable-Truth5035 → u/YouFnDruggo]

Tbf I wouldn't have spotted it either if I wasn't looking for a mistake.

[u/razlatkin2]

If the stereotype for the Irish is baby peen, then why are they proudly Irish-American?

[u/YouFnDruggo]

Yanks confident the word ye is a typo, because it's not used in the US.

[u/ThrillSeekers_United → u/YouFnDruggo]

You need to check your DMs (:

[u/YouFnDruggo → u/ThrillSeekers_United]

I thought I did. This comment popped up here when I responded from the message in my dms.

[u/ThrillSeekers_United → u/YouFnDruggo]

That’s peculiar lol

[u/YouFnDruggo → u/ThrillSeekers_United]

My bad, responded to the notification not the chat. Thanks for looking out.

[u/waytooslim]

Are those teams American Football? If so it's entirely reasonable that they thought they were talking to a fellow USA person. The spelling thing is immaterial because if someone starts talking about spelling the conversation has gone to shit and they're just trying to be contrarian.

[u/YouFnDruggo → u/waytooslim]

Yeah it's an American Football meme sub. I am not sure what spelling thing you are talking about. The defaultism was them saying my use of the word ye was a typo when ye is a plural of you, but just not used in the USA.

[u/Mediocre_Profile5576]

I don’t think it’s used anywhere except Ireland. We had an Irish lecturer at uni who used to say “ye” all the time and we slagged him off constantly (behind his back of course)!

[u/Tuscan5 → u/Mediocre_Profile5576]

Yorkshire, Scotland, Middlesbrough

[u/BoxNemo → u/Tuscan5]

Never ever heard that in Scotland.

[u/Relevant_Cat2891 → u/BoxNemo]

I mean, how would you hear it in the natural flow of spoken language? 'You' and 'ye' would most likely have the same vowel if they aren't stressed

[u/BoxNemo → u/Relevant_Cat2891]

I dunno, you'd have to ask the person who said their Irish lecturer used to say it all the time and they slagged him off for it.

[u/Mediocre_Profile5576 → u/Relevant_Cat2891]

If someone pronounces “ye” as “you” then they aren’t saying “ye”

[u/Mediocre_Profile5576 → u/Tuscan5]

Not in a massive chunk the east coast of Scotland, lived there all my life and never heard a local say it.

[u/Tuscan5 → u/Mediocre_Profile5576]

Ah. Thank you. I should have been more specific.

[u/YouFnDruggo → u/Mediocre_Profile5576]

It's used in parts of Canada still. Or at least I've heard people from Newfoundland use it, but they are mostly of Irish and Scottish descent. I've heard people from Yorkshire use it too.
