I know it's a minor thing and maybe not worth pointing out at all, but it's been driving me crazy for months and I just can't hold back any longer!

Tyma, that's web slang. Get with it.

Yeah Tyma. That's how we spell announcements around here. Get with the times sheesh!!

And also, to point it out, on the PPT Clubs Discussion, it should be y'all, not ya'll. See, the apostrophe replaces missing letters. If you type y'all, it could be you all. If you type ya'll, it couldn't.

I have always thought it was a shortened form of "ya all" (I know that is already a short form, but still.)

Hm I always thought it was ya'll too.

In any case, all fixed. Thanks for the alert guys.

Well, since "ya" is a diminutive of you, and "you'll" and "I'll" are contractions of "you will" and "I will," then it would follow that "ya'll" is a diminutive form of "you'll." In other words, "ya'll" = "you will." Therefore, it makes sense that the proper way to express "you all" in a contraction is "y'all." Sorta like how "you see" contracted is "y'see."
