[AlmaKing]

The apostrophe indicates where the contraction occurs.

You all. You is contracted. Y’all is correct.

[gundog]

“Y’all ain’t from around here, are ya?”

[Fungi]

You really need a life.

[nickcarraway]

I posted it. But you read it.

[Clemenza]

People who are not southern should never say either. Find it annoying when I see foreigners use it too on internet threads.

[Fungi]

And so what? You still need a life.

[nickcarraway]

What about non-NYers using NY expressions?

[nickcarraway]

People who are not southern should never say either.

It's a real shanda. Oops, I'm not Yiddish.

[granite]

What is the plural of y’all?

[Repeal The 17th]

Y’all ain’t from around here, are ya?
Now do an article about the proper usage of “all of y’all”.

[rockrr]

My personal favorite is “I’m fixing” as in “I’m fixing to take look at the icebox in a minute”

[Clemenza]

I find “y’all” as annoying as my dad saying “both of yuz.”

The reason “y’all” has become popular on the internet is because of hip hop culture more than anything else. Don’t get me started on bougie white people appropriating hoodinese.

I am fun at parties.

[nickcarraway]

Isn’t it already plural?

I thought “cannot” becomes “cain’t”, at least in country music :)

[Kevmo]

hoodinese.
***Good wordsmithing

[1066AD]

As was explained to a bemused Brit Hume during W’s election - “All y’all”.

[Kevmo]

all y’all

“What is the plural of y’all?”

Y’all IS plural. Only used when speaking of two or more people.
