First!
I don’t get it.
It should say “howdy y’all” as in “How are you all?!”. Instead, it says “Howdy you’ll” as in “how are you will?!”.
Actually, the howdy is ‘how do you do’, but yeah. lol.
you’ll what?
Yoda they’re not. However, howdy you will.
comment win…
Howdy comes from “How is your day”
this looks fake. the simple primary colors make it easy to shop.
*whispers “conspiracy”
The next person who says “I think it’s a conspiracy.” here, will die. I know a guy.
Well, turns out that the law prohibits that. Oh well. But seriously, you shouldn’t call it a conspiracy. Unless you want federal agencies all over this place, reassuring people that there is nothing going on.
melikes your thinking loler! LOL! took me awhile to figure out what you were up to… aiight, i’m in!
don’t mess with words
*steps in*
*tumble weed passes by*
*safety**dusts off boots*
No one lets anyone mess with anyone’s words in my town.
What did you expect, literacy? This is Texas…
If you are serious then…
REPLY 1:
*sigh*
im getting tired of people generalising like this :/
if its a joke then….
REPLY 2:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA… funny >_>
Well, Texas sure does earn their label. It’s not much of a generalization when they do stuff to deserve it.
Yes, because all of us Texans sure iz dum.
dude, pretty much the only way Texas is more dumb than any other state is because of King of the Hill
We’re pretty much known all over the civilized world as the most backwards, hillbilly place anyone can think of.
Also: everyone in New York is a jerk who uses more curse words than benign ones, everyone in California smokes pot, everyone south of the Mason-Dixon line is racist, and everyone in Appalachia finds their family members sexually attractive. Is there anyone I haven’t offended?
Also, your sentence should have read, “Well, *Texans* sure *do* earn their label.” But that’s just the bachelor’s degree talking.
It’s too bad we Texans are dumb hicks who can’t use English grammar properly.
I should like to think I use proper grammar…I mean, I’m like the ONLY East Texan who doesn’t say “ain’t” or “ya’ll.” It sounds retarded! :O
I like people who say “ain’t” and “ya’ll” better than people who say “retarded”.
Retarded is a pretty common curse here. Means the same thing as stupid. Why ain’t stupid offensive? There ARE stupid people, too. Y’all know what I mean?
It doesn’t mean the same thing as stupid.
retarded means slow, not stupid.
Retardation is the opposite of acceleration; Retarded means de-accelerated
I only lived in Texas for seven years. It’s been eight years since I lived there. I still can’t shake saying ain’t and ya’ll. I even lapse into a bit of an accent when singing.
All I want in life is to sound like every other Washingtonian but I lapse into some crazy half there South Texan accent whenever I get more then three drinks in me.
Given that nobody says “ya’ll”, I can see that.
Plenty of people say “y’all”. It’s very useful to have a 2nd person plural pronoun.
–JMC, Jacksonville.
The word “you” is already a 2nd person plural. The 2nd person singular is “thou”.
Sorry, but that’s wrong.
“You” and “thou” are both second person singular. “You” was the formal term, and “thou” the informal. The second person plural was “ye”, as in “Hear ye, hear ye!”.
Sorry, but that’s wrong.
“You” and “ye” are both plural, the first is objective and the second is subjective. It’s like with “me” and “I” or “them” and “they”.
Sorry but thats wrong
Also, i believe you are thinking of thy.
As a Texas girl there’s you’re problem right there. Ya’ll – you’ll and makes no sense. Y’all=you all and means you plural. Y’all gotta remember to put the apostrophe where ya took out the letters!
You missed the midwest.
lol bachelor. what about your master?
from germany: another reason to hate our new “system”
We use the word more than anyone…trust me, we KNOW how to spell it.
How do we know this isn’t an ‘engrish’ fail? Could have been made by a foreign market.
cant see the fail
I take it you’re from Texas?
They used a spill chicken on it. ‘A’ for trying to correct your spelling automagically with computamors, but ‘F’ for not understanding that the spill chicken is still pretty dumb.
I know this is a surprise coming from Texas, but I believe this is more grammatically correct than the widely accepted version. I guess this is a case of two fails make a right.
you’ll got to be kidding
fuzz that is a huge fail, if you can’t use the words in context, how can you judge what is grammatically correct?
You’ll would be short for “you all”, making what you just said:
“You all got to be kidding”
I bet it doesn’t take a genius to understand where you went wrong, heck maybe even you can see it.
you’ll got to be kidding
I wonder if you’ll reply to me with those same words too.
But from what I know, you don’t use a capital letter in the middle of a sentence …
“You’ll” is the contraction for “you will”; for “you all” it would be “y’all”.
Actually. You’ll means you will. not you all. So it is indeed a fail.
Except “you’ll” commonly means “you will.” Also, “y’all” is popularly-acknowledged slang, and Dictionary.com recognizes it as a grammatically correct contraction.
There is a reason it is “y’all” and not “y’will”.
Yeah, this is actually a GRAMMAR WIN. Y’all == you all == you’ll.
It reads like it’s suggesting I’m going to do something: Howdy, you will…
No doubt I will, I just wish I new what it was.
What a dillema. Oh well, I guess you’ll find out. For all you know it could end up being “You will breathe”.
You don’t get it… YODA MADE THIS SIGN!!!!!!!!!
Ah yes! Understand, now I do. A verb, howdy is. Howdy, I will.
No because, y’all means you all and you’ll means you will. they are not the same, so you FAIL.
tyou are a
Both failing to understand the English language as well as You Fail Logic Forever. Association Fallacy, I believe.
You’ll = You will.
Y’all != You will.
Just because they start in “you” (in the latter case shortened to a single letter), end in two L’s and have an apostrophe does not make them the same thing.
Just think of this sentence:
You’ll win.
Now do you read that as “You will win” or “You all win”?
Plus, you’ll and y’all: two different sounds… Their sign is not even phonetically right.
Technically apostrophe can indicate ANY letter omission so “you’ll” _could_ be you all. Just because it’s standard usage to have “you’ll” mean “you will” doesn’t mean it’s the only possible option.
For example: “you’ll” == “YOU will do this or I’ll kick you down the haLL”. Here multiple letters have been omitted.
Dang Yankee transplants trying to blend in.
Ya’ll is a sort of a contraction of “you all”, but it’s still pronounced YA’ll, ya’ll. (in other words, it’s even more bastardized)
Y’all. Not ya’ll.
Is this seriously the best failblog can do?
What happened to this website?
All of the funny people at failblog took the month of August off – leaving a bunch of mentally challenged baboons running the place…I assume that things will get better after Labor Day…
Ah, I see. Thanks.
Well, used to they’d only update the site when something was actually funny. Now they just throw up all kinds of every hour or so.
Fire that contractor.

^^ you’ll tide over and out greetings
So Yoda lives in texas? Might sneak a visit.
HOWDY YOU WILL!!!!
DO NOT WON’T!!
I’ll what? I’LL WHAT?!
WTF is that hahahahahahahaha
That Fail was very funny, hahahhaha(Sarcasm)
I think Yoda wrote that sign!
Howdy you will and fail you won’t.
Literacy is greatly frowned upon in Texas
har har har…..
Good ol’ George W Bush wrote this one!!!!!
5 stars
BEST COMMANT YET!
did I really spell comment incorrectly? GEORGE W. BUSH HAS TAINTED MY BRAIN!
Yup. George W. Bush is the pride of Texas…*sarcasm, sarcasm, sarcasm* >.> (he made me feel bad to be Texan)
Just remember – Dubya ain’t really Texan. About the nicest thing most of the people here in Austin say about him is “goddamn carpetbagging Yankee…”.
Yeah, that’s the only thing that makes me feel better…coming in from Oklahoma one year, I saw that the Texas state sign said it was the Home of President George W. Bush, and I facepalmed.
So true, but you will never here the yanks speaking the truth about where exactly he comes from. Last I checked he got his college education from a YANKEE SCHOOL.
Umm . . . “y’all” and “YOU’ll” are pretty much the same thing. . . so not really a fail
No. No, they are not the same. They mean completely different things.
No they’re not. You’ll means “you will” (If you don’t pay attention you’ll make a mistake). Y’all means “you all” (Y’all come back and visit sometime).
Man, Am I glad I’m from Alabama and not Texas. They can’t even spell y’all right… Illiterate idiots.
No, Srsly.
Y’all and you’ll are NOT the same thing. Y’all is short for “you all” and is an informal way of saying “this group of people that I am addressing.” You’ll is short for “you will” and is another way of saying “you are about to [insert action here].” Totally different words. Saying that y’all and you’ll are the same thing is, in Texas terms, a load of cow pies.
Somehow this made me think of Soulja Boy… >.>
And come on: I’m not American or English or whatever, and even I know the difference between y’all and you’ll.
And I HATE people messing up there, their and they’re or your and you’re.
Likewise. I mean, I can forgive the occasional typing error but it really bugs me when people can’t get their grammar right. People missing apostrophes where they should be really annoys me sometimes too, especially when the word is completely different when the apostrophe is omitted (‘I’ll’ to ‘Ill’, for instance).
I feel like I’ve seen that somewhere…
Actually this is the secret password for the new supreme race.
We call ourselves Youll and we will devour your household appliances!
derp?
No. Next time, think of a comment that we will ENJOY reading, not want you to leave FAILBlog after reading.
sowwy. couldnt think of anything clever to say.
Yowda hall too
I think they were sayig hi to that Yule over there.
You’ll can mean you all. Grammatically its fine.
It’s also grammatically fine to put the possessive form of “its” where it should be “it’s.”
*PS: read the above comments that debate otherwise. Kthxbai.*
Yard art at Yoda’s ranch.
“Mmmmm, ‘Howdy!’, you will, Hmm, yes…yes”
Get the debate team. We have a case.
The space after “you’ll” is also strange…
If you assume the exclamation point is pronounced, perhaps this is “Howdy, you will bang”. I wonder who the implied object is…
Yup, it’s shopped. It’s also a sad attempt too for such a mild chuckle.
I’m the one who took the pic – it’s definitely not shopped…
hey doyou live in Burton where this was taken?
i tho it’s combination of us n polish flag xD
I know a ton of people who think it’s spelled this way, some of them actually argue when I correct them.
Jackie Chan WIN!
I’ll – what? WHAT? The tension is killing me!
Let’s talk about geographic literacy…I can’t believe I scrolled this far through the comments and everyone has been talking about the grammar problems. What about the glaring error in the way they depicted (what I assume is) their home state? That doesn’t look quite like the silhouette of Texas I’m familiar with.
I Claire Bennet’s brain.
Someone obviously used automatic spell correction, and it “corrected” the word y’all to you’ll.
OH. MY. GOD. You are not going to believe this, but this is my GRANDMOTHER’S house!!!!! I was there this weekend and saw this in her yard! I took a picture with my phone to show my friends. I can’t BELIEVE this on here! Sooooooo awesome!!!
I’d say this looks like a ‘tard up shop job, but if it is real, the design is even worse.
Both present more failure than a spelling mistake.
Some dumb Yankee must have made that sign.
whoever made this is just a hard-core loser- better not mess with Texas!!
You’ll is a more gramatically correct conjuction than y’all.
For all you dumb rednecks: y’all is not a grammatically correct conjuction, it is only used by illiterate rednecks.
POLISH FLAG. YEAH
Ah, you know Texans.
