"I know enough not to use ‘y’all’ in the singular."

I knew y'all ain't from Texas. "Y'all" IS singular. "Y'alls is plural.

So you look at one person and say, in effect, ‘You all’?

Does this individual have multiple personalities?

If the term has a regionalized usage in TX, that’s your affair. Just don’t ask the Deep South to follow suit.
