An apostrophe denotes one or more missing letters and yet no letters have been removed from between the "a" and the "ll" in "you all".

We had Julia Gillard as PM for three years. She was hated by a large proportion of people and not just because of her policies or how she got the job. People hated her voice and it was constantly commented on. No male PM ever gets that sort of treatment. Can't say it bothered me but it seriously upset loads.

Thanks for the second article, I hadn't read that one yet and it absolutely addresses some of the notions that I think make this an interesting discussion. BUT ... OMG .... what in the actual ****????
One Old Etonian told a tabloid newspaper that on the occasions women were admitted to club events — only for drinks, not formal dinners — they were treated “like fillies.” And not prized as thoroughbreds, he said: “We would make them get down on all fours like a horse, whinny, and bring out hunting horns and whips.”

*** Indeed, there are many Bristolians who subconsciously don't feel comfortable ending a word with a vowel-sound. It's the obverse of the strong Italian-language preference for adding a final vowel to so many nouns.

There were several strong nouns used whenever Thatcher was mentioned around Yorkshire parts. Now there was a woman with a voice.
