Possessive form of Y'ALL

As a Virginian of long standing, it seems to me that "y'all's" is the much more
common usage, but I occasionally hear, and use myownself, "your-all's." But the
"your" is pronounced "yer," not "yore" or (heaven forbid!) "yoor." So it might be
better to think of it as "yer-all's."
