: LawPunditWhere y'at`? Students and the Provisions of the Credit Card Act, with a Small Reference to 10,001 Chalmations and Yatspeak thanks to Ylan Q. Mui
By Andis Kaulins

See Michelle Singletary at the Washington Post and The Color of Money: Basic lessons on credit cards for students in light of the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009.
See also at that same newspaper Ylan Q. Mui, Final phase of federal law restricting credit card fees, interest rates begins, discussing the Credit Card Act in general.
Hey, Michelle Singletary and Ylan Q. Mui are both undoubtedly candidates for the title of world's prettiest reporter, although Mui at her Twitter page writes that she is a "Washington Post reporter but Chalmatian at heart!"
Curious, we had to google the term Chalmation and found a fascinating explanation at kuro5hin in 10,0001 Chalmations-- true or not true?, where there is a remarkable introduction of sorts to some elements of Yatspeak, like
where y'at? Awrite! and N'Awlins (New Orleans).
