Talk:I'ven't

I'ven't and friends
I'ven't, you'ven't, he'sn't, she'sn't, we'ven't, and (anticipatorily) they'ven't and one'sn't. These look like the results of bad scans of books. Equinox 22:51, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Yup: I’ven’t we’ven’t you’ven’t he’sn’t she’sn’t, and, indeed, they’ven’t and you forgot it’sn’t; but not *, nor the archaisms * and *. — All visible, so they cannot be explained away as scannos. The three inextant forms are telling; this phænomenon is restricted to informal and dialectal forms of English. †  ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 16:40, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
