I'm over hating Rie, it's a waste of time and energy.
What I will put a stop to, though, is this pervasive "Y'all"ing all over the place. It's ugly, ungainly, and unattractive without a Southern accent. With a Southern accent it's a charming and graceful reminder of days gone by and slow afternoons full of watermelon and cattle drives. No one having been raised north of Oklahoma may use the word y'all without smacking of cultural appropriation!
