- o11c 1y agoHm ... I wonder, is Grammarly also responsible for the flood of contraction of lexical "have" the last few years? It's standard in British English, but outside of poetry it is proscribed in almost all other dialects (which only permit contraction of auxiliary "have"). Even in British I'm not sure how widely they actually use it - do they say "I've a car" and "I haven't a car"?

- NoboruWataya 1y agoIn my experience "I've a car" is much more common than "I haven't a car" (I've never heard the latter construct used, but regularly hear the former in casual speech). "I haven't got a car" or "I've no car" would be relatively common though.

- Destiner 1y agoI don't think an LLM would recommend an edit like that. Has to be a bug in their rule-based system?
- healsdata 1y agoGemini: "Was trulyn't" is a contraction that follows the rules of forming contractions, but it is not a widely used or accepted form in standard English. It is considered grammatically correct in a technical sense, but it's not common usage and can sound awkward or incorrect to native speakers.
