qfnol31 Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Do you say ain't ever? Tell me how come it's spelled the way it is. Tell me, how many words have the apostrophe (in English!) after the first letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusader1234 Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Evidence that y'all is y'all and not ya'll. 1. [url="http://www.yall.com/"]The Magazine for Southern People[/url] - Notice the careful placement of the apostrophe right after the y. 2. [url="http://googlefight.com"]Google It![/url] - Y'all: 1 570 000 results, Ya'll: 419 000 results 3. [url="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=y%27all"]Dictionary.com[/url] I dare y'all to try to find Ya'll on that page. Some of my favourite (and top rated) entries from urbandictionary.com [quote]Y'all contraction for you-all what is going on with y'all? [/quote] [quote]Y'all Y'all is a Southern-Created contraction of, "You," and, "All." Often misspelled, "Ya'll," which is so plainly uncorrect. The 'a' isn't a part of 'you'! I mean, that's like, 'i'ts' the 'T' being a part of 'is'! Y'all come back now, y'hear![/quote] And my ABSOLUTE favourite: [quote]Ya'll How ig'nant people spell y'all. Ya'll get your butts out here!
