Anyone else find the redneck quote on the main page annoying? It makes the guy sound like an idiot. I understand they want it to sound like a normal buyer and not a reviewer, but the english is so poor:
"Most companies don't have a clue what value really means but ya'll have it nailed!! "
I mean, does this guy actually write Ya'all because he thinks it is part of the english language?

I reckon you got a point there, Snippy. Y'all should take note, however, that "english" is capitalized in this neck of the woods - don't want folks thinkin' you're ignorant!

"Ya'll" is an accepted colloqiualism coming from the South (of the US, that is).
Fo' shizzle, ya'll shouldn't be dissin' other folks's speech patterns, yo.

the buying group i belong to puts out fliers. one of the southern guys was pi**ed when one of the printing folks changed his grammar, so yes that's the way they talk, and it's accepted. doesn't offend me i'm a yank from new england.

Y'all just need to chill out. Yes, I use y'all in daily conversation, in writing emails, etc.
I'm from Southern California and live in Northern California. So there. Nyah! :-P
