I'm from Texas, and I say y'all. But one thing that does really bug me is when people use y'all to mean you, and in the singular. Just say you! Also, y'all is, at least a legitimate contraction, unlike yous. That one bugs the [censored] outta me.

"we" means more than one.
"you" can mean one or more.

When we say "yall" it clears up any possible confusion about whether I am speaking to "you" or "yall".

Um, no. Bullshit.
2nd Person Singular: You.
2nd Person Plural: You.

Making [censored] up because it's a regional thing is lame.

As already pointed out, because you can be both singular or plural, the all is added to clarify. It's perfectly reasonable.
