Of course, I don’t think we should start writing ‘you’dn’t’ve’ or anything absurd like that, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong w/ normal contractions.

I also don’t think this is true: simple contractions are one of the first things we teach people, and I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t know what e.g. ‘isn’t’ is supposed to mean. Is there any actual precedent for anyone being confused about this? https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/116803 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
