Shelly, I once spelled it that way and got creamed with people correcting my spelling! I'm a northerner and apparently didn't know that it was spelled "y'all" (the apostrophe taking the place of the absent "ou" in "you").

Whoever lectured you didn't know their vent from a hole in the ground.

It's ya'll.

See ya later.

If you said, " Hope you all have a good time." then it would be "Hope you'll have a good time" when contracted.

SO, it's ya'll.

I beg to differ... Merriam-Webster says the two variations are "y'all" and "you-all," and "ya'll" comes up as a misspelled word.

You'll would be a contraction of "you will" not "you all".

If you want another giggle, go on the pets section of craigslist and see the attempts to spell chicuahua!

On our craigslist in either the pet section or the farm & garden section, I've seen "datsun" puppies, "chewawa" or "chihula" puppies, "bard" rocks, "trackter" tires, and "cookoo" marans (which were actually BCMs).
