Y'all is a contraction for "you all," which is used for a specific group of
people. (Y'all go get me some milk.)
"All y'all" is used only when referring to a general group of people. (All
y'all Chevy-heads are morons.)
I should know. I used to live in Mesquite (you Dallas people will
understand :).
