People keep putting 'y' on the end of words all the time

and I don't like it.

It's bothering me.

It's so sort of twee. I think it's just shorthand, for instance, 'My child is very craftsy' instead of 'My child is very good at/interested in crafts'

Words ending in 's' already don't want a 'y' on the end thankyou. Just use a proper sentence please Smile
