also it’s y’all

not ya’ll

what does ya’ll even mean

JACK

SHIT

It can be either, especially since the second word in a contraction is usually the one that loses the letters AND it makes more sense in a visual-to-phonetic way to have the vowel be in the first part, where it is pronounced. 

Ya’ll: You all -> Ya all -> Ya all -> Ya’ll (yall)

Y’all: You all -> Ya all -> Ya all -> Y’all (yi all or yall)

Visually the second signifies to me a stop before the pronunciation of the ‘all’ part, making the whole into two syllables.

no it’s y’all you nimrod

also apostrophes don’t signal a pause.
