Can "y'all" be singular, since there is "all y'all" for plural?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

No, you is the singular; y'all is the plural.

All y'all works because you might say "All of you all", I suppose.

When talking about a group but only one individual of the group is present you can still use y'all.
