Posted as a query for the southerners on my list (both of them?):

If somebody types it out as ya'll, have they ever actually spoken the word? Or is this just one of those things where people can't spell?

Yeah, I'm a freak and I keep looking at it and thinking 'If... if you keep the ya part then you're pronouncing it *yull* with that schwa noncomittal vowel sound and I'm certain that's not what you mean'.
But I really really ought to be used to that sort of thing by now.
