Take a moment to examine the word "y'all" lingustically (or whatever word means what I'm talking about). It is a contraction springing from the dialect of the Southern United States. The words it is contracting are "you" and "all." Not "ya" and "all." So why do people put the apostrophe between the "a" and the first "l?" Why? Whyyyyyyyyyy? Stop it!
