I hadn't heard of that - they can't stand for that - they WON'T stand for that!
That couldn't be more wrong and shouldn't be implemented !
I won't pay for contractions either. I'd prefer to continue using contractions freely as I believe it's a violation of my grammatical rights otherwise. Haven't our forefathers and foremothers written this in bold type over many years and won't they be disappointed in us if we become the can't do generation?
