You don’t like contractions?

Where have I said I don't like contractions?

You posed a riddle ((Who’s on First?)) from an Abbott & Costello skit.
I answered your stupid question.

Now you're coming back with this asinine "contraction" comment?

PLEASE, you're being childish.

You aren’t going to get very far....

I may be slow, but I'm way ahead of you.

My impulse to post, ‘Who’s on First?’, was merely to indicate a sense of confusion and perplexity, which the phrase can suggest all apart from Abbott and Costello. People who have never heard of A & C or the skit, but have assimilated the phrase by a sort of osmosis, use it all the time.

Your slowness intrigues me :-)
