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?

I agree with "y'all."

And yes, I used to say it. *grin*

As of late (as in, the last few years), I've adopted it unconsciously. It feels more comfortable than 'youse guys' or 'you lot there'.

Every now and then, I've caught myself thinking it, but I don't believe I've used it in a non-deliberate way in 15-odd years.
