Man With Ceremonial "pikachu" Mask, Early 21st Century

Facts about word contractions? Where did such a thing come from? Who decided "cannot" can be "can't"?

Nobody knows who made the decision, but it is notable that many contractions once used are not used anymore. These include:

H’ere (Hi There)

Th’eat (That’s neat)

Se’sons (See Simpsons?)

Li’n’ation (License and Registration)

Wa’mr’ne (Want more wine?)

Why’bl’m’s (Why did you reblog my nudes?)

M’ven’tis’k (My venereal disease tests are back)

Spr’g’giddr’b’Sco’tr (Spielberg is a good director but Scorsese better understands the issues that effect modern cinema’s portrayals of crime and redemption)

H’dar’m’fr’c’ttal’tya’gn’be’vis‘slp’n’aa’vi’pl’s’rem’ish’d’sl (Hello darkness my old friend I’ve come to talk with you again because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while I was sleeping and the vision that was planted in my brain still remains within the sound of silence in restless dreams I walked alone narrow streets of cobblestone beneath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night and touched the sound of silence and in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more people talking without speaking people hearing without listening people writing songs that voices never share and no one dared disturb the sound of silence fools said I you do not know silence like a cancer grows hear my words that I might teach you take my arms that I might reach you but my words like silent raindrops fell and echoed in the wells of silence and the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made and the sign flashed out its warning in the words that it was forming and the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls and whispered in the sounds of silence)

A.I. Art World In Shock As Leading A.I. Admits To Being Human Artist

FIJMU News 8-12-22 by Erik Snoodmaster

The growing A.I. Generated Art world was surprised and sickened with today’s revelation that the popular visual AI platform known as “Mid-Dali” was in fact merely an artist named Ari Bach.

According to computer graphics expert Ralph Codemonger, “It’s pretty sad when these lousy ‘traditional artists’ pretend to be programming and technology to get ahead in the industry. Bach is an utterly inferior artist and frankly I knew all along that Mid-Dali was a fake from its- his lack of creativity and skill.”

Bach has been charged with fraud and “stolen virtuality” and his drawings, which were falsely pushed on several thousand innocent prompt-requesters an hour, will be refunded. Mr. Bach, pathetic liar to the end, insisted during his arrest, “I swear! I’m not an artist! I’m just some code on a mainframe somewhere!” He was then moved to read-only-memory to await sentencing.

His legal app could not be reached for comment, but it is expected that Bach will be dragged to the recycle bin and over-written.
