Contractions function almost identically to the full two-word phrase, but are only appropriate in some places in a sentence. It’s one of the weird quirks of this language we’ve.
This post needs some kind of warning sign.
I did not see that coming.
Some people say the English language is confusing. To which I say… It’s.
Jack marched Rhys across to the water tower. ‘I’m taking you the flashy way’, he said.
‘Your flying lift thing?’, asked Rhys.
‘Yup.’
‘Lovely.’ Rhys eyed the giant silver fountain. ‘And that never fails to impress, does it?’
‘Nope.’

Last night after Ghostbusters, I stopped to talk to one of the young men about my age. (We had previously established that we both had an interest in film, and he was a relatively well-mannered individual who gave me some recommendations for research websites.)

I gaped at him briefly. “Haven’t you ever heard about the Dumb Blonde Trope?”
He wrinkled his nose. “Yeah, but isn’t that typically for…” His eyes got wide, and he looked at me in absolute terror. “Oh.”
“Oh” is right, buddy.
