Double contractions.

Double contractions.

Does anyone here agree that the English language should change to grammatically allow double contractions? Like instead of shouldn't have, it would be shouldn't've. Or I wouldn't would be I'dn't. Or they haven't (or they've not) would be they'ven't. And they aren't (they're not) would be they'ren't.

They're more, but you get the idea. Agree? Disagree?

Re: Double contractions.

they do its caleld improper English
so I disagree, we cant change anthing about it other than add new words, im already ****ed that everywhere I go there is a person not speaking our language in our country, if I were in Mexico I would speak Spanish for them, and if I dont know Spanish I wouldnt go, dont come to us THEN learn our language learn it then come in just like I would, you dont have to know a ton just enough to answer simple questions and crap until you can get educated further on English... (which should be a manditory class when coming to our country)

English gets new words all the time, like when McJob became a word. Why can't we change our grammar then? I mean, we're already so self contradicting with our rules that most people wouldn't even notice. Like the rule about Is and Es. I before E except after C, unless it's pronounced A as in neighbor and weigh, unless, of course, it's weird. And that still probably doesn't cover everything.

Allow me to do my best to fix that so that it is more so grammatically correct, as you seem to desire things to be as such.

"thats" should become "That's"
"cant" should become "can't"
"grammer" should become "grammar."
"these" should become "These"
"english" should become "English"
"!!" should become "!"

Also, the world itself doesn't speak English. I've yet to hear the world speak at all, and I assume it is mute. Or very pompous.

My friend if i really wanted to use grammar i would, also seeing as how im in an excelled english group in my school because well im a geniuse when it comes to english, or so i have been told, i shouldn't have to take this bull**** from you. Bottom line is as long as the internet exist there will be people too lazy to use grammar so just deal with it, plus what you were originaly talking about is what we like to call yobo speak, basicly a load of bull**** that the proper english speaking (and writing) comunity discard as gibberish

Sorry, didn't mean to offend... okay, I did a little, let the devil on my shoulder get to me, but I didn't mean to offend you as much as I apparently did. Also, I didn't know it was called "yobo speak", never heard of that term before. Either way, I prefer math, with how self destructive it is.

Re: Double contractions.

Math class sucks... especially that few weeks my teacher kept on saying you could divide by zero. Seriously, not even joking, the class spent about a month trying to convince her otherwise.

Re: Double contractions.

Many rules in the English language would have to change. So, no, English is fine the way it is.
