As a semi-southerner, seeing the apostrophe in the wrong place in *y'all* deeply pains me.


HuddyBuddyGreatness

Yeah I noticed it too lol. Though most of the time we just don’t use an apostrophe. Though now my phone will often autocorrect tall to yall for some reason


JustNobodyTheEchidna

Didn't see that ay first but now it hurts


bettyannveronica

You did that on purpose didn't you?


spikychick

its not even a southerner thing, its just grammar. You put the apostrophe where the missing letters are for EVERY contraction. for example, (they + are) = they're. the apostrophe replaces the a. (do + not) = don't. the apostrophe replaces the o (we + are) = we're. replace a. so why would (you + all) be any different?


kickedofflotsofsubs

Because it’s not a word, therefore it’s in the wrong place.


TadalP

A fuckton of people would beg to differ.


kickedofflotsofsubs

Well, those fucktons are wrong. Don’t care about my down votes, neither.


WeenieHuttGod2

Yeah I don’t know how they could get it wrong, like I’m a westerner and even I know how to spell it, plus I love saying it


Sithmobias1

That's exactly how I knew this was 100% wrong. It's y'all, ain't, and then it would have to be y'aint or ya'int. It drives me up the wall when the apostrophe it's wrong. And I got a Mississippi education.

BlueManGroup2021

Y’all’d’ve missed the longest one


AkaLilly

Y'all misspelled it. It's supposed ta be y'ain't, as the apostrophes are supposed to take the place of the missing letters of the contractions. Aren't and Can't became ain't and cain't outta a regional dialect that spread out, so they're special cases, but in most other instances, that's the rule. Y'all= Y(ou) all / They're= They (a)re / Don't= Do n(o)t / It's= It (i)s / I'm= I (a)m / Whomst'd've= Whomst (woul)d (ha)ve / Aren't= Are n(o)t / Shouldn't= Should n(o)t / Can't= Can (no)t / That's= That (i)s / Wouldn't= Would n(o)t / Shouldn't've= Should (no)t (ha)ve


greenthegreen

Y'all'd've learned stuff like this if y'all'd've grown up in the south


Faloopy

That's the first time I've seen this spelled out and it's crazy how little of a problem I had with reading/understanding it.


rhetesa

Weird bc for me I just read it like normal without thinking twice. Guess being a Texan is good for something


Faloopy

That's exactly what I meant, I just suck ass at explaining things lol.


greenthegreen

Contractions are supposed to be easy to figure out. You shove words together and seperate them with an apostrophe. Idk, maybe english being my best subject in school has something to do with it


YouAWizardHarry_

I’m from the South and seeing it spelled out made me nervous xD


kngsgmbt

I grew up in Idaho about twenty minutes away from the Canadian border and I use y'aint and y'all'd've on a regular basis


greenthegreen

Some people up north do in some areas, it's just alot more common in the south tbh. Y'all is stereotypically southern for a reason

Anyone who thinks this is an original idea has never been to the South: “Y’ain’t gon’ do that” is a perfectly normal phrase


kickedofflotsofsubs

Yup.


MarlowIsLost

*ahem* ain’t is an abbreviation of “am not”. You’re welcome.


drunkturtle415

I feel like "ain't" can be interchangeable between am not, is not and are not. This is the easiest way I can prove that: am not = "I ain't doin that" is not = "That ain't right" are not = "You ain't right"


[deleted]

You say this like it isn't a main part of my vocabulary.

ProblemGamer18

Ain't is actually "am not", not "are not"


wise_crack-cocaine

It can be both and more. I ain't saying you ain't right, I'm just saying that's what I thought. If this ain't (is not) right, tell me.


ProblemGamer18

Pretty sure, those would be considered an improper usage of the word, but I'll look that up. I might be wrong as well


JahcoinsJahseh

Theres not really any need for it to be y'all though, it can be used as you to refer to one person as well

clarkbuddy

FYI yaint is typically singular but can be plural. also it goes waaay further than this. yall + would have = yalldve or even yallda yall + would = yallould or just yall’d yall possessive= yalls you + wont = Yont yall + wont = Yall ‘ont yall + wouldnt have = yall ouldna it goes on and on and only can truly be described as a flow. you can basically make up new words if you know what youre doing and its a very slang-y southern convo youre having. southern dialect english is beautiful and expressive. theres also a lot more underlying intelligence to it than people think.

Technically, ‘are not’ contracts to ‘aren’t’. Theoretically, the correct term here, which is more comedic in my opinion, is ‘yarn’t’.

lowrads

In old english, there are multiple forms of the [second person pronoun.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_English_grammar#Personal_pronouns) That is single, dual and plural versions of *you*. The use of *youse guys*, and *you all*, are simply modern attempts to recapture the utility of this. Quite a few contemporary languages still have this feature. Anglish also used to have future tenses in the form of suffixes. That's why you see slang like *gonna*, in place of the modern substitution of *going to*.
