Hi!

‘s been a while – busy, busy, busy: summer and racing season over; winter and study season begun. Tempus fugit, and boy’re ‘s arms – nah, never mind.

For some reason contractions have been on my mind lately. For example:

Where’re they?
They’re there, where they’re.

Askn’t what your language can do for you.


As have apostrophes:

H’w ‘re y’u?

‘’m f’ne.


I hope I will have time to read your responses, if any.

Ave!

Interesting that you end with "Ave!" Perhaps the expression is making a comeback, but I assure all that Dg doesn't mean "avenue"

If there's any interest, a new thread might be appropriate

Dgeigh! [blowing kisses e] Oh, I have missed you, my friend!

So--what're you wantin' to contract?

Some folks'll even come up with a preposterous contraction like fo'c's'le.
