May 3, 2016 at 16:10 | comment | added | user0721090601 | @UmbertoP. No. Y'all is used to refer to a group, collectively. If "y'all have $100", then regardless how many of y'all there are, there's a total of $100. All (of) y'all refers to a group, individually. If "all y'all have $100" and y'all're five, then there's a total of $500. This is identical to how they/we and all (of) them/us works. | |
