    I think that follows the rules of contractions by using an apostrophe to signify missing letters.

    However, I’m not American, but I thought it was written as “Y’all”.

    In UK English “you’ll” is “you will”.

      I’m also not American. But autocorrect changed it to You’ll so I went with it.

      Anyway, I think it’s perfectly understandable from context.

        Nope. You’ll is commonly and I’ll even say exclusively read as ‘you will’.

        Y’all is more understandable and fitting. It’s a colloquial southern expression with a quaint twang to it to boot that augments the point.

        Nope. You’ll is commonly and I’ll even say exclusively read as ‘you will’. As in I’ve never seen or noticed it used as ‘you all’.

        Y’all is more understandable and fitting. It’s a colloquial southern expression with a quaint twang to it to boot that augments the point.
