Our visit to Texas Hill Country has been quite the education. First, Texans have been extremely friendly. And they really have been saying, “How y’all doing?” at almost every encounter.
They've also liked to educate us out-of-staters.
“We don’t waste syllables,” one local told me. “We say 'y’all,' not 'you all,'” he explained. And we don’t say ‘oil’; it’s ‘ool.'”
