I think that follows the rules of contractions by using an apostrophe to signify missing letters.
However, I'm not American, but I thought it was written as "Y'all".
In UK English "you'll" is "you will".
Yeah I was super confused too haha
You'll be happy to see an example of it's common UK usage
I'm also not American. But autocorrect changed it to You'll so I went with it.
Anyway, I think it's perfectly understandable from context.
Nope. You'll is commonly and I'll even say exclusively read as 'you will'.
Y'all is more understandable and fitting. It's a colloquial southern expression with a quaint twang to it to boot that augments the point.
