We're rooting out reddit-speak from the site. No more "news at 11" No more "sure Jan" No more "fork found in kitchen." We're writing our own shit now.

Youse and Yoosa sound similar but have entirely different etymology, the former being based on the English form of a Proto-Germanic word derived from Proto-Indo-European, while the latter similar sounding word is derived from Gungan.
