You apparently don't know the correct contraction of "you are", PB.
It's "you're", not "your".
Happy to be of service. :)
BTW, what does "Dirty South" mean?
yeah thanx my grammar skillz are lacking sometimes
the urban dictionary says
1. dirty south
The following states: Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina. Made popular some 10 years ago.
I'm not from the Dirty South, but I live there.
2. Dirty South
n. Term of endearment for the area of the United States that includes much of the former Confederacy; includes southern Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, northern Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and eastern Texas.
This is how we roll in the Dirty South!

The longest single-syllable words in the English language have nine (9) letters.
Of these nine-letter single-syllable words,
"strengths" stands out because, even though it has only only syllable,
it has seven (7) separate consonant sounds in addition to the single vowel sound.
your so very wise:clap:

The Philadelphia Phillies have gone the longest time (1883-present) in the same city with the same name of any team in major league baseball (they did add a second name, the Blue Jays, with the intention of changing it, but it never caught on and was dropped after two seasons).

Disturbing?
Yeah, maybe,
but if it doesn't bother you, why should it bother anybody else?
BTW, I love your blue hair.
Reminds me of the time I took my teenage children on a summer roadtrip.
Unbeknownst to me, my daughter bought blue hair dye when we were in Seattle,
and dyed her hair in the motel bathtub.
I woke up the next day to find that the tub was seemingly irretrieveably stained blue.
Went out and bought all kinds of bleaching type products, applied them, and got the tub more or less back to where it was before we checked in.
12 years ago and still fresh in my mind.
