Y'all is a proper abbreviation of "you all", and is definitely southern in origin. Non-southern teachers tried to tell me it was incorrect and that I shouldn't use it (I moved a lot as a kid). Reddit libs, after embracing the globohomo education system, which demonized southern speak, have now embraced y'all, which sucks, because it used to be a good indicator for what team they're on.

I actually like y’all because English lacks a distinct pronoun for second person plural. We got rid of “thee” and “thou” for whatever ungodly reason (I bet it was actually ungodly), so ending linguistic ambiguity by adopting y’all just makes sense.
