"Y'all" is used when speaking directly to one person. "All Y'all" is used when addressing a group. Yes, there is a difference.

Not all southerners say "All Y'all" though. Y'all can be singular or pleural!!

 I've never heard "Y'all" being used to speak to only one person?

There's also "y'alls" for plural and "all y'alls" when adding emphasis.

Don't be negative!  I am pretty certain the MA's are dying to pledge Barbie. She would be quite the feather in their ermine lined caps!

I'm sorry, gee_ess! I'm hurting inside for Barbie. She DESERVES to be a Madame Alexander, and I'm afraid they are intimidated by her perfection!
