Just found this post today and knew I had to weigh in. Been in Texas all my life....Vacationing elsewhere is good but there's no place like Texas!! Looks like I'm in good company, y'all!
We need to get a campaign going for the correct spelling of y'all for those who keep using ya'll. They can't be native Texans, since y'all runs a close second with da-da as baby's first word.
Alright, ya'll caught me. I have only been in Texas the last 25 years, so I am still learnin'. Now what really bugs me is the way southerners pronounce vehicle, as if it rimed with pop sickle. I shudder every commercials selling autos comes on the boob tube.

Don, 25 years in Texas and you still misspelled "y'all."
Out of curiosity I looked up vehicle and I think we Texans pronounce it correctly. The word my Yankee husband and I argue over is chocolate. He says "chaw-clate". No wonder Texans can't understand him.
