Please Be Patient With Britney

The latest news from Britney Spears' fanclub...

9.30.2004

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to let ya'll know that I am still working on my first posting for the website and I'm really excited about it! We are going to be putting "Lynne's Corner" on hold soon- so that way I can talk to you directly.

I'm going to be doing updates about what's going on, things I'm currently working on and I was also thinking about starting a section that has my favorite things of the month. It'll include different restaurants I've found, movies, CD's, bands, clothing designers, stores, beauty, fashion, travel, different recipes - stuff like that. What do ya'll think?

Some of it will be posted on the fan club first, to give you guys the chance to read it before everyone else and then we'll put it up on the main site a little bit later. But, I still need a little more time to put the finishing touches on my first letter- so please be patient with me and I promise to have something ready to go up soon!

Love,
Britney

Britney's such a tease! At least we can now settle the "ya'll" spelling debate.

That is probably the most accurate (and frightening) shirt she's ever worn.

Britney is such an ass hat. Damn tease!

I can only envision some of her hot favorites:

Brit's Fav's Ya'll (a sampling)
-Trucker hats, but like not Von Dutch cos' they are like so last week, but the kind you can get at a gas station. They are like, so umm.. ironic

-Kevin. Seriously ya'll, he is like the best thing to ever happen in my life, y'know. I know lots of people dog him and all, but he is like the best daddy to his kids and treats me soooo good- it's 4eva! Plus he wicked hot ya'll.

-7-11. Seriously, they have the best taquitos. Plus, they totally never care when you walk in with no shoes on.

-My new brown hair. I just thought I would do something different than anybody else, ya know? Plus, like brown makes you look like classier, ya know?

-Did I mention Kevin? He's my pimp daddy - luv ya baby!

-Folic acid. I heard like it helps if you want to have a baby, which I seriously do. I can totally see myself with a baby next year. I want like four, cos I know that Kev would be so good with them. We totally would have the cutest kid.

-My greatest hits album. Totally buy it guys. It rox, it's like way hot. Seriously.

My grandmother explained "Y'all" as a contraction of You and All. "Ya'll" don't seem right to me.

Dear suckers: now that we have collected over 4 million dollars in revenue from memberships like yours, and have proved to companies that we have a built-in base of 100,000+ (more than some small newspapers), we will soon be offering you "content" in the form of "what Britney likes"-- which means I will promote restaurants, designers, and other products and services, and receive money or other promotional consideration from the people I mention on my site.

You may have thought that my mom, publicist, handlers, et al. [et'all?], were all crying over my latest antics, but the truth is that we are laughing. All the way to the bank. Thanks for the money, and make sure to tune in to check on my inane prattle and endless shilling.

After all, I have my very own family now to support, now that I have a husband. Keep the $$ coming in.

Love,
Britney

As a native and lifetime resident of the South, I can state unequivocally that "y'all" is a contraction of "you all," and thus correctly spelled y'all. NOT ya'll. I know Britney is also a native of the South, but she's also a moron. And so I can't wait to see this "best ever" letter of hers.

reason it hasn't it posted is that her team of PR and laywers have to go through it and fix it up... that or... the computer is still running spell check.

I'm looking forward to the recipe section: I wonder what dandy main course meals can be made with cheetos and red bull.

frank and zelig are on the mark.

the apostrophe is supposed to replace a missing letter.

I am = I'm
You all = y'all.

If you write it ya'll, what letters are missing between the a and the ll? None. Which makes it stupid. And wrong.

Wer'e going to the Britney show, once she starts touring again. I'ts supposed to be amazing.

Of course it's going to work! I am sure that some of her fans are impressionable youngsters with parents who shell out.

If *Elizabeth Arden*, formerly associated with classier women such as Catherine Zeta Jones and Vendela (the supermodel), thinks Britney can sell, and gave her her own perfume line to market (because I am sure that Brit Brit developed the scent on her own. please.), then clearly someone somewhere has done the market research on Britney. Britney is "top o' the tabs" in column inches week after week after week. Stereogum blogged on a SUNDAY to report on the secret wedding.

Britney will get $$ for promoting. That's why she is so rich in the first place.

You guys are so pedantic, arguing the proper written form of improper speech.

"Y'all" was indeed the original written form of this contraction. But these days "ya'll", a contraction of "ya" and "all", is also acceptable. Especially in Slidell, or wherever the fuck these Cajuns come from.

[See also "chaise longue" vs. "chaise lounge".]

"Britney is going to single handedly push blogging over the shark."

Oh god, that is so sad, but I fear it's true.

So...are these restaurants and fashion designers and other stuff Britney recommends going to be the kinds of things only bazillionaires like her can afford, or the kinds that only sleazebags like her and Lord Federline will stoop to?

sorry. you're spelling debate is not over.

i was born and raised in alabama and I think britney spears is full of shit. y'all is spelled y'all -- a contraction of you and all. the apostrophes in contractions take the place of the missing letters, as we all know. and the apostrophe in this case takes the place of the o and u. so it's y'all. not ya'll. how lame is it that y'all don't know that.

Came across this discussion as a result of a Google search on the correct way to spell Y'all vs Ya'll. I feel that Y'all is the correct contracted expression for You All and Ya'll is the correct form for the colloquial Ya All as in Ya all can kiss my rebel ***! I'm I completely off base? Just call me a rebel.

What is up w/ everyone tryin to diss Brit, and saying she is a moran. Don't judge a book by its cover. I have NO clue how I came across this page, but its really rude to judge a person before you even know them, and if you do.. the only thing you're.. JEALOUS. She has it all, and everyone wants to be HER.. so don't be mocking her for the things you wish you had, and probably aren't ever goin to have in your life. Don't hate her cause she is beautiful RESPECT her for who she is, and expressing who she is!! Have a fab day y'all. Ashes Jean
