The First Ever

Do you ever type a sentence and then think, “Geez, I am probably the first person to have ever typed that exact combination of words in the entire history of the English language?”

I just wrote the following note to my friend Amy, a fellow transplanted Southerner in Dubai, on Gchat:

“Okay, so we’ll plan to meet y’all in Kigali on March 18th?”

And then looked back at what I had typed and was like, “Yep - definitely the first person ever to have used y’all in a sentence detailing plans to go gorilla-trekking in Rwanda.”

(Also, gorilla-trekking in Rwanda… SQUEE!)
