It's not a misplaced apostrophe!
It could be irregular like "won't" ...I mean, look at "won't"... it certainly doesn't look like "will not"... eh?
It sure ain't. It can be spelled either as ya'll (ya + all) or y'all (you +all). And supposedly it can be spelled as yawl as well, but nobody I know does that.
...All right, I'll stop being annoying now. XD

Are we voting by preference (eh?) or the region in which we actually are (ya'll)?

I picked up "ya'll" when I lived in Texas, and it's stuck with me ever since. I really do love that word; it's super-convenient! :)

Can't we just go back to using 'Gee', which had spelling that wasn't controversial? XD
