two unrelated questions
1) For those of you who have "you guys" for the plural of "you" in your spoken dialect, how do you form the possessive?
-you guys' (same pronunciation as singular)
-you guys's
-your guys's
-(something else?)
I just heard the cashier at the store say "your guys's", which is a formation I enjoy. Language change by analogy is so funny-strange. I probably say "you guys's" most of the time, but "your guys's" also seems natural to me.
2) What helps one stop waking up during the night? This is a new thing for me, and I assume it's stress related since nothing else in my life has changed. I fall asleep fine but wake up several times.
