The reason spell check lets "Yawl" through is that a yawl is a small =

Depends on where in the south you are from. I normally use y'all but =
have
also seen and heard your ya'll, ya'all [requires an unimaginable drawl]. =
This should not be confused with the contraction you'll. Lazy spellers
almost always leave out the apostrophe, misspelling the contractions
entirely.

BTW, my spell checker doesn't like ya'll and prefers yawl! I wonder if =
Jenn
had anything to do with putting the spell checker together?

Hope this helps,
