No you shan't. Oooooo, now there's one I haven't heard since I don't remember when!!! How does one spell shan't? Is that the correct spelling, and is it a real word? I know friends and I have used it sometime in our lives. It was around the time we used those parent-dreaded questions, "Ain't not?" , "Ain't that right?" and "You know?" :o) "are I" sounds like a pirate, don't you know :o) or is it "I are" they say :o) I aren't going to say another word, because I are being very silly right now :o) Hmmm, maybe I'll run it passed the kids tomorrow, when they come for their get-together. I'll just say, "Well, now, I are going to heat up the food; I aren't going to be gone long." See what they say. I'll try to keep a straight face, but don't know that I will be able to :o) Lynn Richard Emlin Reed wrote: Well then, Lynn, I take it I didn't convert you. I'd bet I didn't convince anyone. Well I aren't going to stew about it, are I.
