Not saying it doesn’t. I’m just stating the reasoning behind the sleeve.

You’re not supposed to be able to tie a specific vote to an individual.

With two envelopes, the verification info is on the outer envelope and can be verified upon receipt, then the sleeve ballot remains unopened until it’s time to be counted.

I’ve never entered a meeting without singing — usually just in my head but sometimes out loud — “Ah gentlemen, you know why we are here. We’ve not much time, and quite a problem here.”

Our neighbors growing up in Monroeville were definitely yinzers. They leaned into the contraction a little more — it was two syllables, like yew-ins. And that was usually followed by “guys.” Yew-inz guys. It’s an interesting dialect.

“Yinz” seems to be the preferred spelling, but you’re right — I hear “yunz” or more accurately “youns” more often. Which makes sense, it’s a contraction of “you ones.” That’s a Scots-Irish construct, similar to how they use “wains” for “wee ones.”

When the industry switched from packaging cds in longboxes, most stores developed plastic “shucks” for their cds. These let cds fit into the existing racks -which were mostly retrofitted lp racks. One lp row held two rows of cds in boxes or shucks.

My ? is - what happened to all those shucks?

Samesies, but my Mariners are called “Pittsburgh Pirates.”
