At some point in my life that I can't pinpoint at the moment, a Northerner asked me when it was most appropriate to use the term "y'all" versus "all y'all". (Perhaps I have posted about this before because my computer remembered this title, but again - I don't know when that was.) I felt this person had a respect for Southern language and was pretty smart to think to ask this question, which I had never been asked before. I just had need of "all y'all", so I thought I'd share.
The convo went a little like this:
Friend S: "I love your super duper cool friend that just came to visit."
Me: "She loved all of y'all!"
Meaning - she collectively loved each of the wacky Southern folks she met while visiting. Yes, I added an "of" when I texted back. No biggie.
Here is some of the y'all:
