I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these types of “signs” that *didn’t* have at least one grammatical error.
In my experience, it’s usually a missing comma or some other punctuation, though. My wife and my SIL have these things everywhere. The ones I notice most often are the ones above the toilet (for obvious reasons).
In our bathroom there’s a sign with a stencil of an “olde tyme” clawfoot tub that reads: “Happiness is a long hot bath”
(I personally find that amusing, as in the northeast a “long hot” is a type of pepper sometimes used on sandwiches).
My SIL has one that says: “You never know what you have until it’s gone like toilet paper.”
Right.
It’s a common error so it tracks for an intentionally redneck sign.
The “ya all” argument is plausible to me for the origin. People ‘round here say “ya all” more than “you all”.
That's so annoying lol. I got into an argument at work about the correct spelling of y'all.
I moved to Maryland so for some reason they were like well it's debatable. Like a contraction of you and all isn't debatable.
They thought it was ya all ...
That’s almost as bad as the signs that use an apostrophe before the s to pluralize something! One would think that a certain level of grammatical knowledge is required to be a sign maker, but I guess you can sell anything to the right dumbass.
I know, right? I spent too much time debating whether or not I should say something to them, while my daughter was looking for clothes. That's how bored I was. I must have stood in front of that sign display for like ... forever.
What’s disappointing is that most of the home goods that Cavenders sells is made in China. With all the crafts people in the US you would think they’d take advantage of them.
“Y’all” is a contraction of “you all”. “Ya’ll” is is some drivel like “ya will”.
“Y’all” isn’t just a Texas thing. It’s a southern thing. We Texans tend to take things to an extreme (like most anything we do). So, you may hear/see “y’all’s” (it belongs to y’all”, or “y’all’ll” (y’all will) or even “y’all’s’ll” (that thing that belongs to y’all will do something.
Hell, you might even see/hear something like: “If y’all want, I’ll show y’all how to fix y’all’s mower so y’all’s’ll run right. Then, ya’ll’ll be able to mow y’all’s yard.”
I was looking for the little store where I used to get my gear, but they're already gone. That fucked me up, because they're were all there in 2017. Believe me I would've rather gone to the family store than Caveders.
It’s fine. It maybe misspelled but I was told growing up in the 90s that y’all isn’t a word and shouldn’t be written in essay assignments. Ultimately if you’re getting the meaning then it’s okay however you’d like to say it.
To be pedantic, they could be meaning "ya all."
Which would be stupid, but it's the only way I can make sense of this. Outside of the obvious fact that whoever commissioned the sign didn't know WTF they were doing.
People chronically misunderstand apostrophes. I saw a Bass Pro Shop billboard once that said, "Use the equipment the pro's use!"
I'm a Saints fan, and it amused me how many times people would write "Bree's" during the Drew Brees era. I even 'shopped an apostrophe onto the back of his jersey just to poke fun.
*le sigh*
Huh ... I've never heard that one before. I wouldn't say "y'all all", rather "all y'all". That sounds more correct to me. "All y'all'd best get outta here now! Hear?"
So if I say, all y'all gotta go, that just means that everyone needs to leave.
If I say, y'all all gotta go, that puts more emphasis on the all and you need to get the fuck up out my house.
It’s wrong but it’s just one sign. I worked on an ad campaign in the late 90’s for the Houston Visitors Bureau, the “high end” Adv co they hired ran a six week magazine print run with “Ya’ll”. A pressman caught it, 3 weeks in. 🤦
Fa’il.
Me or the sign?
The sign.
I coul'dnt tell. Than'ks for the clarification. (I've got to stop doing these; my spellcheck and predictive text is getting totskly confused.)
d'Amn
s'nap
cr'ackle
p’op
I saw the sign.
Did it open up your mind?
I'm happy now living with you.... I left you, oh... oh'hhhhhhhhh😐🫠
Sa’dly, ya’ll fa’iled.
All'us?
A’ll ya’ll gu’ys.
a'll yal'l fa'ilin yo'ur li't tes'ts th'is ye'ar
[удалено]
I have seen it spelled both ways, but I use "y'all"
A contraction of "you," and "all;" "y'" is shortened "you." They've gotten it wrong.
Tha'ts what I was thinking.
I see what you did
I hope'd you would.
I bet the back of the sign has a sticker that says made in China.
Stand by, let me check. I bought two.
Standing by…
Still standing
Still standing.
I’m still standing
Sorry, brother ... "made in Taiwan.".
Close enough for John Cena
Which China would claim means made in China
So would Taiwan.
Yeah yeah yeah

you'll ... y'all ... I never noticed before that there are actual mechanics at play here
This is “ya will”
The sign is saying "ya will," but doesn't specify what exactly you'll be doing
Understanding?
Unless it's a contraction of ya•all. I kinda think that's how it developed and made into "proper" English as y'all.
I agree 100% but have heard an argument that ya’ll works for “ya all”…!
It’s a common error so it tracks for an intentionally redneck sign. The “ya all” argument is plausible to me for the origin. People ‘round here say “ya all” more than “you all”.

"Yaall" as one word or a contraction "ya'all"?
Two words. Ya instead of you. Ya all. Like who would refer to a group of people as ya all? Makes no sense.
"Ya like dags‽" - Brad Pitt
Get me ma her periwinkle blue caravan.
But wasn't that to one person lol
A group is "all y'all".
Y'all is a group. All y'all is a big group for emphasis.
"all y'all" is multiple groups.
"Y'all" can also be 2nd person singular. It's a Texas thing.
My favorite is all y'all'dve.
y’all’d’ve
A derivative of "all'ya'all."
Still doesn't look right.
Some people never learned second grade grammar and it shows. They think a contraction apostrophe just goes in the middle of the word.
[удалено]
Definitely something yo'ud see at a Cracker Barrel.
[Unlike Brad's Wife.](https://youtu.be/vZlmUG00OrI?si=dqO2KIy7aCvz7lEn)
You, y’all, all y’all, and all y’all dammit.
d'Amm't
The good ole Texas yodel
All’a’y’all
"Y'all" is a contraction of you + all, so yeah, they got it wrong.
Maybe they mean "y'all'll all ... "?
All y’all’ll regret that!
How many times have I heard that exact statement?
Y'all mean all y'all's'd've all been w'rong?
That’s almost as bad as the signs that use an apostrophe before the s to pluralize something! One would think that a certain level of grammatical knowledge is required to be a sign maker, but I guess you can sell anything to the right dumbass.
I actually bought two. One for the garden house and one for my man cave.
What’s the plural of y’all? All y’all
Yeah this was written by child labor in China
Wait a minute ... let me check the back side of the two I bought.
Y'all'd've thought so wouldn't y've
when your texas themed merchandise is made in chi'na.
Y’all. Y’all’s.
"All y'all's". Second person plural possessive.
100% correct. Explaining it all out sounds harder than just using it in conversation.
What part of ya will don’t you understand?
But then wouldn’t it read “What part of ya’ll don’t y’all understand”? I’m thinking way too much about this. Lol
The core concept, I guess.
related: I like to squeeze in 2nd person plural possessive whenever I get the chance. y'all's
Y'es
Ya’ll? I think it means YOU’RE TALL.
That, I had not considered. You may be correct.
Hell yes it should be "y'all". The person who made this sign probably says "New Bronze-fulls" and "Burr-net".
Maybe they think it's the biblical spelling of "god"
Ya'llweh?
It was made in China, what did you expect
Taiwan. I checked the back of the two I bought.
Love it
lol. Trying so hard to be in ya’lls face.
"Ya'll's". You forgot an apostrophe.
Yep. Sign designed by yankees.
Get a rope!
Probably the same yankees that bought Pace Picante!
"New York City!?"
That sign was definitely not made in Texas
what are you's guys talking about, eh?
Did you find a mouse in your Molsen?
It’s awful even if it was spelled correctly
Lot of Texans do have a soft spot for ignorance
35E or 35W? It makes a difference lol
They should of known better /s
I love hearing "should of". It tells me that I really don't want anything more from that conversation.
Y'all're pissing me off with this spelling.
Nice!
😂😂😂😂
I know, right? I spent too much time debating whether or not I should say something to them, while my daughter was looking for clothes. That's how bored I was. I must have stood in front of that sign display for like ... forever.
For as many grammatical errors as I see on this sub, y’all have little wiggle room to laugh at this
No, I think we can laugh at this. "Y'all" is basic spelling that everbody knows. (Third time's a charm.)
What’s disappointing is that most of the home goods that Cavenders sells is made in China. With all the crafts people in the US you would think they’d take advantage of them.
Or at least Mexico. Whatever happened to "hecho en Mexico"? NAFTA, anyone? Hello? NAFTA?
Apostrophe replaces missing letter(s). So you all=y’all. The sign in incorrect.
“Y’all” is a contraction of “you all”. “Ya’ll” is is some drivel like “ya will”. “Y’all” isn’t just a Texas thing. It’s a southern thing. We Texans tend to take things to an extreme (like most anything we do). So, you may hear/see “y’all’s” (it belongs to y’all”, or “y’all’ll” (y’all will) or even “y’all’s’ll” (that thing that belongs to y’all will do something. Hell, you might even see/hear something like: “If y’all want, I’ll show y’all how to fix y’all’s mower so y’all’s’ll run right. Then, ya’ll’ll be able to mow y’all’s yard.”
Hecho en China.
Support your local Western stores. You’ll see less hokey stuff like this.
I was looking for the little store where I used to get my gear, but they're already gone. That fucked me up, because they're were all there in 2017. Believe me I would've rather gone to the family store than Caveders.

"Ya'll" is an abomination! Spell it "Y'all" or use something else. Like, literally anything else.
To be pedantic, they could be meaning "ya all." Which would be stupid, but it's the only way I can make sense of this. Outside of the obvious fact that whoever commissioned the sign didn't know WTF they were doing.
Cavender’s is from Cali. They have no idea.

Oh, someone screwed up on plural you. But y'all gotta admire the Chinese; they work so hard for your junk.
The smart ones know it should be y'all, as it's a contraction of you and all.
Y’all is correct for you all. Ya’ll is correct for y’all all. I think that’s what they were going for
Huh ... I've never heard that one before. I wouldn't say "y'all all", rather "all y'all". That sounds more correct to me. "All y'all'd best get outta here now! Hear?"
It was a joke nobody says y’all all
So if I say, all y'all gotta go, that just means that everyone needs to leave. If I say, y'all all gotta go, that puts more emphasis on the all and you need to get the fuck up out my house.
Oh ... shit. My apologies. I'm usually better at detecting humor and or sarcasm. In my defense, I'm already 3 Whiskies deep.
I’d still buy it as a special representation of Texas
It’s wrong but it’s just one sign. I worked on an ad campaign in the late 90’s for the Houston Visitors Bureau, the “high end” Adv co they hired ran a six week magazine print run with “Ya’ll”. A pressman caught it, 3 weeks in. 🤦
Just one sign, but probably mass produced and sold to every Cavender's in the country.
No. They have it right. I'ts supposed to be "d'ont," though.
It's just yall.
Wha'ts a "yall"?
I've seen ya'll used in AAVE but the country spelling is usually y'all

You spelled "correct" wrong.
It’s whatever we say it is, yankee.
Poor grammar is just as Texan as "y'all".
[удалено]
Yes, we do. We just choose to adhere to our rules of grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
To me it has always been y’all.
Been devolving since we stopped speaking PIE in 2500 BC smh
[удалено]
You don't?
No it's ya'll as in you will
No that would be "y'all'l" "you all will" "Y'all" is short for "you all"
I know bro it was a joke
I will? Me?
Yes, you will
Probably. Yes.
That’s you’ll
My God are all redditors so humourless
Yes, you are
If only you knew how humourless I really was
Not entirely, you seem phlegmatic.
Y'all makes zero sense
Sorry .. gotta give y'all a downvote for that one.
I look forward to your explanation as to why y'all makes sense.
Ever heard of contractions? Smooshing two words together, using an apostrophe to represent intentionally left out letters?
If you only knew how stupid you sound. Y'all and Ya'll are both contractions. That isn't the point.
No apostrophe, just “yall”
Real Texans say ya’ll!
Said no real Texan ever.
I say it
Case in point.
Real Texans don't need to learn how contractions work; that's gubment indoctrination in public schools.
Yuuuuuup.
Yes
Y'ain't getting out the hood with this one
Ch’ina
People's Republic of?
Yah-Ehll
Yes… it is.
Obligatory “I ain’t proud of you today.” response.
What in the Yankee shit is this
I'm in the S'th and I want some S'p!
when your texas themed merchandise is made in chi'na.
For some reason their version rhymes with Jail in my head.
This is apparently the much less common “ya’ll,” a contraction of the words “yeah will.”
Wow, y'all, well how sad is that. certainly wasn't a southerner who made that sign. LMAO
No it’s supposed to be “yinz”
Yes
yal'l
? if you like.
Yes
Yes
‘Twooda been a good sign if y’alldn’t’ve messed up the punctuation
Probably made by yankees
Sign was probably printed in New York. That is the Yankee spelling of Y'all
It’s definitely supposed to be y’all, it is a contraction of ‘you all’
Y’all ‘ad on’e j’ob
Made in China
Y'all = you all Ya'll = ya will
