As the descendant of a long line of proud Cajun people, I can assure you that “y’all” is singular. In Louisiana, the proper pluralization is “all y’all”.
The thing I find strangest about SotiCoto’s obsession is how specific it is. He never challenges “dag” or “I’mo”, just “y’all”, which has a lot more precedent and tradition behind it.
Finally! I was waiting for this to be answered.
Unity is now on the list of characters who have said “the non-word”… assuming she wasn’t already.
“Y’all” isn’t a “non-word,” it’s a colloquialism.
True, however she added an s to a colloquialism that was already a plural noun

Whoops. Don’t tell the Long Riders.
‘Y’all’ is a singular mass noun, similar to people. ‘Y’alls’ or ‘all y’all’ is it’s plural, depending on the regional dialect in use.
“Y’all” is not a colloquialism. It’s a valid contraction for “you all”.
Even a combination of letters organized on the spot become a word if the usage is adopted by a sufficient number of people in a culture.
I hereby declare that a ‘mneau’ (pronounced ‘no’) is a noun referring to the action of creating a word just to annoy another person. Spread it around!
What the mrifk are you talking about? You can’t just make up words anytime you mrifking feel like it!
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Maybe he just has something against the South. He’s annoying, but harmless.
You forget, it’s not the south because it’s in the northern hemisphere.
I’m starting to wonder if Poe’s Law (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PoesLaw) applies here.
