Tsk, tsk, tsk.  Another poor soul who got his information from a "Damn Yankee"
(one that moves down here and stays).  You or ya'  (pronounced yuh), as in
"Whatch' ya' doin'?" is singular, Y'all is plural, and Y'all's is plural
possessive.  All Y'all's is also used as plural possessive, although it is
considered poor grammar along with "Where's it at?".

Setting the Record Straight,
