@Bootsiebaby Why? Many contractions include the whole first word and only part of the second word.

@Bootsiebaby Welcome to the English language, it’s a clusterfuck.

@Bootsiebaby Drop it...it's not that important.

@Bootsiebaby He was a brilliant and funny man, believe me. I heard a few of his sermons - he was an extemporaneous speaker, very eloquent.

I used to be pretty rigid. Family mythos around intellect and education was mostly responsible. Oddly enough, marriage to a language instructor with a linguistics degree softened my outlook considerably.

@Bootsiebaby Maybe it’s just an error

@Bootsiebaby Nothing. Just a joke. But the word ain't is the same way. Like I said language is not precise. That is how they evolve and form separate languages. We don't have cockney. Just like there is no southern US dialect there. Actually the southern US was influenced I believe by Scots and Irish ways of speaking.

@Bootsiebaby They probably don't know any better, and/or they don't care..
