How Do Y'all Spell Y'all?

Florence Y'all Water Tower

Virginia Erection Co. was contracted to paint the words “Florence Mall” to advertise the forthcoming Mall style shopping center - something new to the region. Mayor CM “Hop” Ewing was informed in July of 1974 by the Bureau of Highways that the signage was in violation of the law, as there was a restriction on how tall a sign promoting a business could be.

When I lived in Cincinnati I used to get a kick out of this every time I drove by it.

Have any other contractions lost their apostrophes? I seem to remember this being the case for some words, but I can’t think of any examples off hand.

Hallowe’en is most often now spelled Halloween. In fact my spell checker only likes the latter.
