Y’all, we’re supposed to talk about contractions today. I use a lot of contractions in my speaking and in my writing. That’s always been the case. I don’t know why. Everyone I know shortens their words. Some might say it’s a lazy way to talk, or that we’re from Texas, or even a southern way of speaking.
Well, that’s ok. Sometimes, I’m a little confused about how to write one, even though I can say it just fine. Like this one here… when you want to say ‘come here’, I say … c’mere. I don’t know if that’s a real one or not, and I got the red squiggly line under it, so this spelling checker thing on here evidently don’t like it. hahaha. Well, it didn’t like hahaha either. I wonder if I could do a whole post with squiggly line words? I might have to try that someday. What’d’ya think?
It’s been a whole lotta fun doing this about contractions. We get bonus points (though nobody’s really keeping score, are they?) if we start and end this post with a contraction word. I’m trying to think of one as I’m typing, and also wondering how many I’ve used already. I’ll count ’em in a minute. 🙂
Here’s some more contractions for you to look at. … Won’t, Can’t, Who’ll, They’ll, we’ll, hahaha, who’ll sounds funny who’ll, who’ll, like a funny owl. What if that’s what they sounded like? What about doves? We have doves here all the time, and they coo. It sounds really pretty, but what if they said coo’ll, coo’ll … that would be so cool! 🙂
Ok, I’m crackin’ myself up now, and I have to count the contractions, and I’m bad at math, so just take my word for how many I find. Hang on while I count…ok, I got 24~ yay! Now, one more to end this post, and it will be…(big reveal coming up)….. I thought it would be hard to write about contractions, but…it wasn’t! 🙂
