It's because Irish has a plural of you. There is none in English so people just did it anyway using "ye" or "yous".
It's like English does not have the habitual tense and Irish does.
"He does be in the shops". Does be is a habitual event, one that happens often. African americans also use this tense, probably picked up from Irish people who were indentured slaves back in the day "Bitches be tripping". |

"'Ye' - it's only a word in Old English. Drives me nuts!
If quoted in Old English does it annoy you...
Well it hasn't happened yet! Feel free though..."
I would rather not. I have a poor enough grasp of Modern English as it is... Ye Olde Grammer Nazis |

The correct possessive spelling of lady is lady's, if you are referring to one lady, or ladies' if you are referring to more than one lady owning the same object. |

I think she was pointing out plurals here, not possessives, though you are entirely correct about the possessives |

When people call something a phobia, but really it's just an annoyance |

"Being called babe or babes!
Being instead of been or vice versa.
His instead of he's.
There, their and they're.
Your and you're.
Must stop now, my blood pressure is rising! "
Taught instead of thought? |
