My first lesson in Southern culture was to understand that “y’all” is actually singular. Go figure!

Born and raised in Tennessee - y’all is never singular where I come from. I have heard people do that in movies and figured it was their idea of how people talk in the south.

‘All y’all’ is the plural.
