Y'all is plural.

My favorite Southernism is "pick up," as in "Momma and them's fixin' to pick up little Bubba down at the picture show." (Translation for non-Southerners: Mother and several unspecified persons are about to meet a boy named "Bubba" at the movie theater in order to take him to an unspecified location.)

Ain't it great to have our own dialects! Boo to "TV American English."
