@booboo I'm not sure that there is a correct spelling for that. It's wrong whatever you do with it. Isn't it?
Most European languages have a singular and plural form of each pronoun. English has singular and plural forms of first person (I and we) and third person (he, she and they), but not for the second person in common usage any more. Thou and you was the old pair, but thou has fallen out of common usage and is an archaism. Youse as a second person plural pronoun would fill that gap nicely.
I normally just use “you fluffybunnies”.

"You piston wristed gibbons" is another fine option. Y'all is the Southern US attempt.
