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?

PS - For bluegoose: I'm way too much of a skeptic and spiritually dead to be teaching in CES. I've been approached about teaching on a trial basis at the Y (which is how they hire all their teachers) but at this point I just make it easy for them by letting them know they probably wouldn't want me ;-). |

However, a well-healed prep school might be fun, if you could teach advanced placement classes. For example, my son is thirteen but he'd much enjoy classes you could teach, but he's not in Utah.

This is what my friend has decided to do. He's a PhD in math and just finished his first year teaching at a residential high school somewhere back East. He was trying to avoid the headaches associated with university faculty-status, but he's found high school has a different set of headaches. Archaea's right, though, it's an option to consider.

I agree. How can you be so selfish?
