Another Grammar question

It annoys the hell out of me when people say 'alls' as in 'alls I was trying to say'.

It wouldn't bother me if it only came from the uneducated, but I have heard well educated persons say it. I don't think it is regional. It seems to me that more than ten percent use this Malaprop.

        I find that the word "stuff" can work in literature, upon occasion, to show complexity, as well as skirting the issue of a repeated lising of complicated -- stuff . . . - DanS - 1/28/2014 2:34:41 PM
