Evangeline has well and truly learned the art of contracting.

She, like her sister before her, has spontaneously formed the word "amn't". It's a useful word. Pity it doesn't exist in our dialect. Like, not even remotely. I wish it did.

Don't worry, she'll change it to "ain't" soon enough.

I don't think so. Ain't isn't a word any of us use very often - or at all, I never use it except joking - and Ana stopped saying amn't in favor of am not and aren't.

It's too bad. I've decided that "ain't" should be an acceptable word because it's really just an easier way of saying "amn't"

I firmly agree, and have for a while.
