Sure. We're not from the US, but it resonated with us, here's what we have to say:

We why use "Yall" instead of "Y'all" as a pronoun.
irelephant [he/him]: Hey, I saw yall's post on fedi (and a few replies beforehand), why did [yall] choose yall as a pronoun if yall don't mind me asking? You works as a plural as well. And why is y'all with an apostrophe disliked?
Appie. [Pronouns prns.cc/lhlfm] 🇵🇸🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🤎🖤💛💜: "you" for plurals [mainly us, not all] is like "guys" for [some] transfems. While you and guys can be used plurally, "you" reminds us of the singular, and "guys" reminds us of "guy". Appie are uncomfy about both
irelephant [he/him]: That makes sense, what about the apostrophe though?
Appie. [Pronouns prns.cc/lhlfm] 🇵🇸🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🤎🖤💛💜: y'all is contraction of "you all" yall is alternative mispelling of "y'all" We like to be called "yall" and not "y'all" based on personal perefence. Think of "yall" as neopronoun, completely detached from the english term "you all".
Some beings prefer to be called "y'all" over "yall". It all comes down to pereference, which is why we highly recommend reading beings' bios before inteeacting with them!
