Talk:what'd

what&#39;d
Rfv-senses "what would" and "what had". I don't believe I've ever heard what'd used for anything other than "what did". I don't really doubt that these forms exist, but it would be great if we had some cites. --WikiTiki89 02:58, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Added three citations for each sense. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 03:22, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * In "What'd the President think of ye?", it's unclear if it stands for "what did" or "what would". --WikiTiki89 03:28, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * It seems like "what would" to me, based on context, but just to be sure, I've added two more (including the one Ungoliant pointed out below). —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 03:58, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Here’s a “What’d he have done?”. — Ungoliant (falai) 03:32, 16 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much guys. The sense are cited. --WikiTiki89 04:00, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of what'd to mean 'what did'. Where is this used? Mglovesfun (talk) 17:11, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Everywhere as far as I know: What'd you do that for?, What'd he do to you?, etc. --WikiTiki89 17:21, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
