Y'all or ya'll, which is the correct spelling? I say the first as the latter is nonsensical.

If you are talking to more than one. It's ALL Y'ALL
If you hunt with your kids. You should not have to hunt for your kids.

East of Macon County it is pronounced you’uns.
The possessive form of you’uns is urine. You’unsis is also widely accepted.

The correct spelling is y'all..........
But some, likely, are not familiar with the proper use, definition and understanding.
Y'all - Is singular, BUT, on occasion can reference a small group.
Y'all's - Singular possessive
All Y'all - is definitely for larger groups and plural.
All Yall's - Plural possessive

For me, you is singular and y’all has always been plural. At least I don’t THINK I say y’all when talking to one person. 😊

yuns Some folks pick up on it and know where I was born.  . I worked hard to get it out of my speech when I was a kid and we moved. Still slips out if I've been drinking.
