Always remember: "Y'all" is singular, "All y'all" is plural.

My DD related to me that some of her classmates were going on a trip with a school organization and had a trip shirt made with the word spelled "ya'll". When someone pointed out that the apostrophe was supposed to be placed where the missing letters came from, they were mortified and would no longer wear the shirt.

To tell you the truth, if I'm wearing a shirt that has that word on it, I'm not really too worried about where the apostrophe goes.
