>>8633354
there is a slight decline in woof proportional to single instances of bark, however woof resumes at a slightly reduced rate proportional to a secondary instance of bark

my team's hypothesis is that for every bark in the series n+1... n+x we will see an identical drop preceding a resumption in woof at a diminishing rate so that over time w[b sub nx] as b approaches ∞ = 0, assuming our grant proposal goes through these promise to be very exciting times in our understanding of dog barkings

Anonymous Tue Oct 18 23:30:24 2016 No.8634703

What's interesting to me is that every region tends to make its own plural you to make up for the absence.

Y'all, y'uns, youse, you guys, etc. It's a gap that people naturally fix themselves.

Also, y'all need to lrn2lingistics and stop being such goddamn prescriptivists.
