eegrek apostrophe

[this_isnt_maybe]

i would like a plausible explanation for why the variation ya'll seems to be becoming more common rather than less. having hopefully shed any southern accent i used to have by now, it still bothers me. it's not optional like alot or tonite, it's serious business, that apostrophe. wh'os with me?

Who says (or writes, rather), "Ya'll" --that's just straight up wrong.
