Isn't "all y'all" unnecessarily repetitive though? I feel like you can get the message across just fine using just "y'all." Case in point:

*On phone so pic might not show. Will fix.*

Hate to be the grammar snob on this one, but take it from a southerner: "ya'll" is never correct, unfortunately. In fact, it's downright goofy. All y'all isn't hyphenated; it's just "all y'all."
Strunk and White pegged this one. Apostrophe supplants the letter.
And yes, "y'all" is correct... as correct as it can be, anyway.

To the OP. I second Mac Hambleton's response. Consider it a wash. But I once misspelled HTML in a resume, got called into interview, they noted it, laughed, and hired me.

Not necessarily a deal-breaker.

Y'all (short for "you all") is for small groups

Ya'll (short for "y'all all") is for large groups or to mean "everyone." In some regions "all y'all" is also used for this purpose.

^_- so that'd be short for "you all all"?

This entire thread I couldn't figure out if I should take anyone seriously.

Please take me seriously because I really did that.
