Let me explain. Say you exclaim 'don't you dare' to someone, sounds pretty normal, right? But then, when you bear in mind that 'don't' is a contraction of the words 'do not' so technically, you are saying.....
DO NOT YOU DARE!
This is the same for 'can't' in some circumstances, like 'why can't you pick up the book today?' which is, of course, 'why can not you pick up the book today?'
In conclusion, the english language is weird. I forgot to thank you guys before, but thank you for 10 followers! I know it sounds small but it means a lot to me. Anyway, I hope you are having a great day.
Do you think the english language is weird? What's the weirdest word/contraction that you've come across?
