In Kentucky it's Ya'll, but my family is from Tennessee, West Virginia, and Ohio, so some of my Family says 'You Guys,' some say 'Ya'll' and I rarely hear 'You'uns.' Its mostly used when an elderly person is addressing kids..
I use Ya'll instead of Y'all because I think that 'you' is first shortened to 'ya.' For Example, You say, "How Ya doin?" singular, and "How Ya'll doin?" for plural. I'm just trying to prove the dictionary wrong...
Y'all's or Ya'll's is just wrong(to me)... It's either pluralized twice(or 3 times if you consider 'you' to be plural) or it's using "is" instead or "are" (ie: "You all is stupid", vs, "You all are stupid.")
However the english language is always evolving so who's to say what's right and what's wrong.
