Ya'll

A word said by Taylor Hickson after accidentally mixing up the months June and July. Let's just say, the fans went crazy with the memes

ya'll

The correct spelling for the commonly misspelled word, y'all. The word originates in the south-eastern United States and is a contraction formed from the words 'ya' and 'all,' the 'ya' being the short-form of you. The apostrophe is placed after the a because in contractions, letters are removed from the second word, and thus, y'all is gramatically incorrect, leaving ya'll as the proper method of spelling the word.
Will ya'll quiet down for a moment please?

I'll see ya'll later.

ya'll

Being a New Orleanian born and raised, ya'll is the combination of you + all, with the 'you' being shortened to 'ya' and combined with 'all'.
'You' to 'ya':
Ya' heard me?

Variations include ya'll:
ya'll's
all ya'll
all ya'lls
and
all ya'lls'

ya'll

Ya'll is the spelling of the contraction of the word ya + all. Southern post civil war news papers support this. Northern newspapers would spell the word as y'all as an insult.
"When y'all gonna en' 'dis reconstruct?"
-- The New York Times

"When ya'll going to end reconstruction?"
-- The Times Picayune

Both relating to the same quote.

ya'll

The incorrect spelling of the contraction "y'all." In English, we use the apostrophe to replace letters when squishing two or more words together. In the case of y'all, the apostrophe replaces "ou" in "you" or "a" in "ya," depending on whether or not you can pronounce "you" correctly (you all or ya all). The sound of "all" does not change.

"Ya'll" would more correctly be a contraction for "ya will," and it sounds like "yuh-ull" because ya sounds like "yuh" and "'ll" sounds like "ull." In this case, the "ya" sound does not change.
You all:
Are y'all coming with us tonight?
Y'all better not do that!

Ya will:
Ya'll be sorry if ya do that after ya were told not to.
Ya'll be lucky if ya don't get a whippin' for doing it anyway.
