I am sure that I do not know what the problem is. Maybe the Enty who writes most of these posts does not know how to use the apostrophe key on her keyboard. Maybe she gets paid by the word and does not want to get paid less by using fewer words.
I am not surprised that this Enty does not know about contractions. It is hard to understand the intricacies of the English language when it is not your first language.
Okay, I see where you are going with this. I talk too much, am Canadian and there was actually a time when my keyboard wouldn't do contractions so I was even wordier than normal. Not me, I swear it! I do not know what you are talking aboot!!
I tell you, not being able to use them on my keyboard led to speaking that way and then my three-year-old was walking around saying "No, Mommy, I cannot clean up my room" and it turned into some a bad Canadian knockoff of an English play

ReplyDeleteDon't they have contractions in Canada?
Of course they have contractions in Canada.
DeleteI do not know what you are talking about.

ReplyDelete@TalksTooMuch, I promise this was not about you! Unless you are an Enty, of course. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd my grandparents are Canadian. Luckily for me, they learned about contractions when they moved to the U.S. :)
