To reiterate; in the Southern USA (aka Confederacy) ya'll is always
plural, never singular! You is singular, never plural. Ya'll may be
mistaken as singular by someone from up "nawth" when addressed such as,
"ya'll come over." In this case ya'll means you and your
family/friends/group. If a Southerner ever says "all ya'll" it would be
when refering to more than one group, such as several families.
OK I'm lowering my battle flag :-)
