Sandra,

a while back you made a comment about how the word "young'uns" among
others intrinsically implies disrespect and i was wondering if you
could expound on that a bit? i've never had or known of anyone having
a problem with it so i'm curious. maybe a regional thing?

Maybe I have prejudices because the people who used certain terms happened
also to be social groups in which respect for children was non-existent.
