Shouldn't the Americanized version of "you're" be spelled "yo'r"?

Hmm... Curious. ๐Ÿค”

Edit: Didn't think I needed to state that this was a joke. I was simultaneously playing on the Colour โ†’ Color and Centre โ†’ Center. It wasn't that deep...

Ya'll depending on the state.

EDIT: Thank you all for the grammar lessons. Seriously. I actually do enjoy learning about stuff like this!

The word "Y'all'd'nt've" ("You all should not have") is used where I live with no sense of irony. Your friends do you a favor, and it's a natural reaction.

Or y'alls, which could mean either your or you're depending.

"Y'alls dog got out again," or

"Y'alls really tryin mah patience"

Y'all is "you all", the contraction occurs directly after the y.

The translation for this sign would be "y'all ain't lonesome".
