Ain’t ain’t wrong! It’s posh! Seriously! English loved contractions so much that it made a mountain of them! And ain’t was it’s favourite! In fact, we used it for everything! • am not → amn’t → an’t → ain’t • are not → aren’t → an’t → ain’t • is not → isn’t → in’t → ain’t • have not → haven’t → ha’n’t → ain’t But then those fun-stealing Latin-loving grammarians tried to stomp on them! They got ain’t, but English saved as many as it could. But it was too late to save ain’t 🥺 #linguistics #englis
