Its all slang, I actually think there should be a plural form of 'you' just like the French Vous, the Chinese 你们(NiMen), and the Spanish Ustedes and Vosotros...
Y'all is actually short for 'you all' which I do occasionally use....
but I do use y'all...

I'm closing my eyes right now and pretending that I'm sitting in a honky tonk deep in the heart of Texas, listening to my favorite singer, Dale Watson. I can feet the coolness in my throat as that Shiner Bock slides down. A blur of dancers 2-stepping across the dance floor....
Thanks! The monitor alarms just brought me back to reality   |

I try not to use "you guys" if there are females in the group I am addressing, but it's been known to happen with no ill effects. "Y'all" is a perfectly good colloquialism, IMO. I wouldn't use it in a term paper or anything formal, but there isn't anything wrong with using it in everyday conversation.

I think Catman might actually get it. Like I have been saying all along, there's nothing wrong with saying the word. It is still not proper English, which means you wouldn't use it in a term paper. Right ?
And my apologies to Texaswannabe if I miss understood you. |

Apology accepted. I would still save your life even though you think I use improper English.  |

Well, for all your insistence on proper English, "miss understood" is not correct. 
It would be "misunderstood." You also do not need a space between "Right" and the question mark.
You left yourself wide open for this, too.
Your insistence on what is proper English obviously does not extend to the written word. |
