y'all or you all?

Question

for me it's you all but just wondering actually how many people say "ya'll"

someone commented on my name and where I must live...think again, I just happen to enjoy snowboarding and couldn't think of a name when I got onto Yahoo Answers, I live in the Old Line State for anybody who was wondering...

Answer 1

I try not to say it but sometimes the sentence just leads to "Y'all"

"If y'all can think of a way to do it without saying it, y'all let me know"

Answer 2

I have lived in Tennessee all of my life and I have never said y'all unconsciously. People in my school would make fun of the people who did. Most people here say you guys. It's only in the particular part of Tennessee where I live(I think) that most people say you guys instead y'all. It doesn't matter what part of the country you live, people are going to say y'all, you all, and you guys.

Answer 3

Well we'd not expect a snowboarder to be speaking or spelling a Southern dialect well. Where I was raised it is y'all. I say it often.

Answer 4

I use both forms. But I work in a restaurant, that has a southern emphasis, so y'all comes out a lot. Even more so, when I am busy and trying to get through my greeting faster. But it can also depend on to whom I am talking. ; )

Answer 5

Y'all! Everybody from the South says y'all!

Answer 6

Ya'll

Answer 7

I'm a nerd and even though I live in the Midwest I will write y'all:). I suppose it's not proper though...

Answer 8

About 50/50 for me. Y'all. . .plural personal pronoun refering to two, or more people.

Answer 9

Y'ALL COME BACK NOW, YE HEAR?

Answer 10
