Chez. Like Chez vous, or Chez nous, or chez vous autres (for you quebecois fans in the audience, and forgive the lack of proper punctuation). These terms just don't translate directly into english without extra words, and are very handy. Just like Y'all.
As you may have noticed, it was also supposed to be a comment on the language that y'all speak in Texas (I know you're not from TX, but go with me here).

You know, I spent my whole growing up thinking it was spelled y'all. Then I had some English major convince me it was ya'll, and I changed it. I shoulda known to trust my roots.
The history of y'all, per Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y'all |

CHC, after doing all of that work why would you even consider not finishing that PhD?

talk about a thread hijack of epic proportions we have a scholar and religious aficionado gracing us with his presence and all we can talk about is the correct spelling of Y'all?
I am surprised Seattleute is not on here chastising all of you.

But hell, I'm just glad to have gotten the education I did. It changed my life for the better, for a huge number of complicated reasons involving both myself and my family, and I'll be forever glad I did it. Teaching NT, Early Judaism, and OT lectures and recitations was one of the highlights of my life as well. But, who knows, anything can happen, and time will tell. |

A really stupid question, but with your credentials, would teaching at a prep school be of any interest, or do you intend to enter the dirty field of business, making your millions to retire to become a gentleman skeptic and intellect?

I didn't see anything in your statement about not wanting to teach seminary though. I hear Springville High School may be looking for a release-time teacher next year. Plus CES has great medical benefits - a real drawing point for a self-employed young family with small children.
