Why are we talking about it uncontracted, making it sound weird, when the actual quote is 'it's not so bad' which sounds perfectly fluent to me (native BrEng)?

- hombre_fatal 3y agoIt’s definitely a common phrase but it’s really poor writing here.
- OJFord 3y agoI agree, just only really because it's too colloquial/informal/spoken for an article imo, wouldn't be my choice. But not worth calling out, and certainly not for not making sense or seeming like a robot or ESL author wrote it.
