My maternal grandfather was a Louisiana country boy, but he was very insistent that his daughters grew up speaking the Queen’s English.

Mom tells me that when they were little, he’d tell them “Don’t say y’all, say you all.”

In certain areas it is indeed the two words but often pronounced like “you wall” with the stress on the “you.”
