       A wonderment: Do others use words like “how’re” and “I’d’ve” in regular writing? Or is that idiosyncratic to me?

       The best contraction, by the way, is “y’all’d’ve”. Which, when I say that to other Texans and get a quizzical look, I just say, “Oh, y’all’d’ve loved it,” and they’re like, “Oh. Yeah. Obviously.”

       @benhamill y'all'd've is a completely normal word, and I don't know why it would confused anyone.It does annoy me that I can't swipe it on my keyboard, though.

       Realized that I think the “correct” spelling of the possessive second person plural pronoun is “y’alls” (rather than “y’all’s”) in parallel with “his”, “hers”, “its”, “theirs”, etc.
