    That’s not right:

    • you - singular
    • y’all - plural
    • all y’all - superplural

    Y’all refers to multiple people, all y’all refers to multiple groups of people

      My understanding:

      • you: the person I’m talking to
      • y’all: the group of folks I’m talking to
      • all y’all: y’all, plus anyone else that could possibly be addressed by me (everyone in voice range)

      (Agreeing and using different words to say the what I think is the same thing)
