Geds, y'all is not YA'll, it is Y'all. You all, with the apostrophe taking the place of the missing ou in YOU.

I took Brass Tacks' statement as agreeing with you that y'all is plural, but clarifying that it is generally plural for a couple, but a whole bunch is "all y'all". I did not see him as saying y'all was singular.

Nobody but stupid Yankees, doing bad southern impressions, thinks "y'all" is singular.
