I spent many years living in the deep south,
Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana,
and Y'll is very natural, There.
"Y'll pick me up a RC and a bag'a peanuts." For example.
But it dosn't fit everywhere. It is regional dialect.
Ain't, is another regional dialect word, not heard everywhere
but used extensively in some part of the country.
I live in California now and Y'll and Ain't are ony heard
from persons coming from other regions of our country.
