The Watercooler : People who speak w/o contractions

People who speak w/o contractions

They have a bad name. Sure, it's awkward if they do it IRL. But on the internet, it's usually a schtick.

When I was on IMDb, there was a poster named "sadie flood". She (assuming it was a she) would say things like "You do not seem certain". Actually, when I think about it, "she" didn't sound too lady-like. The point being, lacking contractions is often a gimmick, at least on the internet. That is all.

It's a ploy to sound more forceful and determined. It can be used to good effect to make a point. But it shouldn't be overused.
