I like the word y'all.
besides, didn't Shakespeare use it in a few of his plays ?
He did not (though he probably would have, if he had been exposed to it). It's a Southern US thing, and while I actually do like it from the standpoint of providing a distinction between second person singular and plural pronouns, it simply doesn't work well in print.

it's you all but shortened. makes sense socially to abbreviate it to y'all.

don't know about the more complex grammatical parts tho, that's a super nerd thing to worry about.

Spoken, it works. In print, it just looks weird. Kind of like double contractions.

"You'd've done the same in that situation." Makes sense out loud, not on paper.
you just need to see it written more often. kinda like the word cart and spoon in French (cuillère and caddie) I know I always kinda tweak when I see those words.

I have concerns about the use of "y'all" in the post title and poll. Can we derail this thread to discuss that?
I think it's a sign of retardedness. IMO. Edit: I don't mean this particular thread but in general.
Just like wazup. Or shortening original to OG.

:fml: I want my position history in karma rankings to be tracked. Everyone who placed among top 20, 10, 3 etc. at any point of time should be given decorated roles/other profile cosmetics

actually it's just how language works and evolves throughout time.
