Also this article is my first time reading the word “Texodus”. No hate though. Y’all means all.

    Y’all means all.

    Weeeellll…… sorta. “Y’all” means everyone you’re talking to. “All y’all” means everyone you’re talking to plus everyone you’re talking about in the current context. That’s how I grew up using it anyway!

      The way I was raised, “all y’all” is everyone you are currently addressing, “some y’all” is a subset of the people, “y’all” is sort of ambiguous.

      That’s a very literal understanding of the contraction, yes.
