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 am not a southerner (nor am I a yankee, according to the locals - since I'm from the west, I am a "hippy") but that person can't spell.

Yeah, luckily we appear to be exempt from the Southerner/Yankee schism. (: I am hoping someday to be accorded the 'Honorary Southerner' honor.

Now that I have Texan in-laws, my understanding of "y'all" and "all y'all" has deepened significantly. Don't think it makes me an Honorary Southerner though, as I'm some egghead yellow-bellied bleeding-heart liberal communist from a non-Confederate state. Or so some would have me believe.
