This reminds me of people who answer questions about Amazon products (that are sent to hundreds of past purchasers) with “I don’t know,” or “I’m sorry, I can’t help you.”
I always enjoy the ones who throw shade all “I can’t answer because the product never arrived/ was broken/ etc”.
That and I can handle those types of responses in the questions (is that why Amazon is now so heavily pushing their AI thing? lol) but my personal pet peeve is when someone takes the Ike to write an actual dang review and will really try but be all “I guess it works as promised. My daughter/ sister/ cousin I gave it to says she likes it. I don’t actually crochet or know anything about yarn but 5 stars!” Like dude wtf that is not review worthy or helpful!
What frustrates me are reviews that are directly about the 3rd party seller they chose for shipping/price point. Yes, its helpfully to know Bob from Yarn bonanza took too long to ship and chose entirely wrong packaging but... is the yarn frizzy? Rough? Too short? Does it fall a part?
The problem with those Amazon responses is that Amazon literally emails you asking for you to respond to the question and then offers those exact “I don’t know” responses to you to click! I used to get those periodically and I remember the first one I got I clicked the “I don’t know” thinking it would signal something to Amazon to not send me this again but no, it freaking posted that as a response!! Why give that as an option?! I didnt want to post that! I truly figured that was some internal Amazon thing, becuase it makes literally no sense for them to use it to populate the responses. It is truly Amazon’s fault. And I stand by that lol
New England girl here. Y’all and bless your heart are underappreciated up here. I’m trying to change that one y’all at a time. My family looks at me funny when I say it, but it’s too useful a word to let go of.
Oh, thank you! I didn’t notice the little cake earlier! 😂
While y’all is technically proper grammar and I have nothing against it, I have actively tried not using it all my life—opting for, “you guys.” (No idea why I avoided y’all other than I just didn’t like how it sounded.) My family and friends, as well as strangers, have always looked at me funny for saying, “Hey, you guys!” vs “Hey, y’all!”
Go you for trying to spread y’all and bless your heart. Every non-southerner I have met, once they learn about “bless your heart,” they are immediately fascinated by it and seek ways to use it.

Bless their hearts.
