Good work. Looks like you have a lot of chocolate there. It's bad for the teeth, you know. *edges towards chocolates*

Congratulations, hello earthlings! You can have all of my chocolate that is now spoiled for me since I ate a bar of Godiva dark chocolate the other day- that stuff makes everything else taste like artificial flavoring. It'll be months before I can eat regular chocolate again.

Uhhm... this might be a silly question but what exactly is "won't" an abbriviation of?

19 years ago #8297
Won't is an abbreviation of 'will not' I believe.

19 years ago #8298
yes. I've always wondered why it's not "win't" though...

My guess is the original accents that it was spoken with.

Pronunciation: ‚w‹nt; New England, upstate NY, nPa ƒw„nt, ‚w„nt; greater NYC ‚wünt; eSC ‚wünt, ‚w˜nt
Date: 1608

: will not

I think amn't would be nice for I am not.

"amn't" is not uncommon in rural South Wales, and I use it myself sometimes. It's funny though, I'd never write it that way.
And I always say "hisself" and "theirselves" - I don't know if that's my mother's Wiltshire background, or my current Welsh surroundings - the forms seem common to both, and frankly a whole lot more logical.

Ohhh an 'accent'- that makes sense. Its an abbr. of "Woll Nut" I kept trying to somehow make 'woe naught' work in my mind.
