Talk:it'd

RFV discussion: January–May 2017
"It had" and "it would", yes, but "it should"?? Equinox ◑ 04:43, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Possibly, if it's a UK use of should for NA would, but isn't that normally restricted to first person ? Leasnam (talk) 18:59, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The only instance where should = would that is not first person that I can think of off the top of my head is the passage in Numbers 23:19 where it say "God is not a man, that he should lie" where should there clearly means would, but this is archaic usage at least Leasnam (talk) 20:23, 2 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I cannot think of any context in BrE in which "it'd" could mean "it should". I question even whether "I'd" can reasonably mean "I should". "I should" in the sense of "I would" (e.g. "I should like to ...") feels formal or dated, and I'm not sure whether anyone would understand "I'd" as meaning that.
