http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y'all

having the apostrophe between the y and the all is the only way this remotely makes sense

Still others say that "ya'll" is a separate term from "y'all" altogether; in this line of argument, "ya'll" means "ya will" as in "Ya'll get in trouble for that" or "Ya'll see us there."

:rofl:

silly southerners

I still stick with y'all even though I feel a tiny bit guilty now each time when I think Nina may see it.

But ya'll just doesn't make sense to me. What the hell does ya mean? At least with y'all you can deduce that the missing letters are o and u. Ya means nada.
 
Ya'll makes perfect sense. See when we southerners say it we aren't contracting the words you and all. We are saying them as one word with a slight pause after the vowels.

Y'all or ya'll can only be one syllable so it's definitely a contraction... you can't pronounce "ll" by itself. I guess you're arguing that the word should be spelled phonetically? Either way the position of the apostrophe signals no difference in pronunciation, it's just used to indicate the presence of, guess what, a contraction.

Team Ya'll has no leg to stand on I'm afraid.
