I still don't understand why some Hollywood writers are so out of touch with reality that they create characters with horrible fake Southern accents saying "y'all" as a singular pronoun. Nobody would actually do that unless they have brain damage.

The only place I see people saying y'all can be singular is nonsoutherners on the internet erroneously trying to explain why people say all y'all. I've never seen that in Hollywood even you got any examples?

Yes! I commented elsewhere on the same thing. I would love to know how and where that started. It seems to be "one of those things that everybody knows" that has never actually been true.
