Then realized since my blog is about guitars my readers may not get it. Nonetheless, I appreciate the questions as it was a refershing exercise! I felt like I was going through a therapy session or something. I ran across this on my periodic visits to GoingLikeSixty and answered the questions.

Yes, folks, even with "y'all," the normal rules for apostrophes apply. Just as long as no one puts “ya’ll” into the conversation.

"Thou" fell into disuse, and was replaced by "you." With "you" now the accepted singular, this left us with no plural word for "you," which has led to y'all, all y'all, youse guys, and who knows what else?

It is really impossible to come up with a "rule" for a form of grammar that isn't really an official form of grammar! Where I grew up, they are both plural forms. "All y'all" is usually intended to include the in-laws. As in, "Y'all come on over to the cookout," means just your friends. "All y'all can come," means bring your in-laws and out of town guests, as well. I am just picking at you.

D'oh! Seester, I thought “all y’all” was the plural form of that structure! D’oh!
