Because won't isn't a "natural contraction", either.
Therefore, "y'all" is acceptable.
But, that willn't really matter in the end.
ACK!
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!Comment

Of course it is; "woll not" became "wonnot" became "won't". It's actually a great example of why it's wrong to assume that the derivation of a contraction must be based on the modern dictionary meaning of the term; assuming "won't" was derived from "will not" is just as wrong as assuming "ya'll" was derived from "you all".
Therefore, "y'all" is acceptable.
You utterly fail at logic.Comment
