Who uses ya'll as opposed to y'all? What would ya'll even be an abbreviation for?


As a kid I saw it both ways. Like "ya all" shortened to ya'll.

I agree that "you all" shortened to "y'all" is the appropriate form.


I grew weary of seeing it wrong, which is nearly all the time on Twitter.

Since "ya" is "I" in Russian (transliterated), the only logical conclusion is that "ya'll" is an abbreviation for "Ya will", as in "Ya will rock you".
