Why do some people spell it "ya'll"? I've never figured that one out :)

Differences between y'all, all y'all, you'ins, we'ins, all we'ins, etc., are apparent to Southerners.
If you move to Dixie from "up Nawth" and bear children south of the Mason-Dixon Line, those children are not considered "Southerners".
After all, if a cat has kittens in an old stove, y'all don't call 'em biscuits, do ya?

In Response to abracadabra (#44927):
So then what happens when one parent is from the Norwegian North, one is from the South, and they have kids in the Southwest?
I think you'd probably end up with kids that say y'all, all y'all and love to eat hotdish with hot sauce (or casserole, as some "up nort" states call it).
