maybe by y’all it is plural…
but if I walk into my barber shop and say to the crazy dude “Y’all‘s CRAZY!!!”, everybody else knows I am talking about that one individual.
now if I turn around and say “And y’all’s crazy for listening to him!”, everyone else is gonna wonder which person i am talking to if I don’t point or otherwise indicate a specific person.
but if I say “And all y’all’s crazy for listening to him!” Then the whole group is gonna kick my @$$.
“Y’all” is singular.
Kilroy the word are or is needs to be inserted so the plural or singular form is determined. Not a 's.
Y'all is used with 's because it denotes possession not plural form of y'all. you would say "You are all crazy". (Y'all are are crazy)
Or "You all are crazy for listening to him". (Y'all are crazy for listening to him).
But you could say "y'all's boat is ugly"
Y'alls is not a word because Y'all is singular and plural. The only time it is used with an "s" is when it is possessive and then only with an apostrophe "s" - Y'all's = possession.
