y'all IS plural. It refers to a group of people. Any other usage (as in a Yankee gal on TV using a pretend Southern accent to say "you all" when referring to one person) is silly and not real.

Down here in the south, I've heard them say "all y'all" as apparent plural for y'all.
As a western girl, the mix of accents here in S. Florida is enough to drive one to drink. If it isn't some rude and loud broad from NJ, it's someone using incorrect grammar with a southern accent. Neither can anyone here spell correctly. Why, even some of our local streets names are misspelled. It's a tragedy that so many could be so poorly spoken. And folks wonder why they get pegged as ignorant.

What is plural for y'all? "All y'all." Or so I was told by a dear friend when I visited him in West - no, sorry, "West By God" Virginia.

You (pronounced "yoo") is singular.
You (pronounced "yawl") is plural.
All of you (pronounced "all yawl") refers to a multitude.

"What is pural for y'all?"
In a good portion of the south, y'all IS plural. Some say 'all y'all' when referring to an extended group, or just plain 'y'all' referring to an immediate group. At least we don't say 'youse', which is basically the northern equivilant!
