    I could, but I won't.  I use them all of the time and on sites like this I write somewhat conversational which allows heavy use of our friend, the contraction.  :)

      I'd most likely be able to do that, it isn't exactly required to use them, or didn't you already know that?  We're not tied down to them or anything crazy like that, but we've certainly become used to them over the years.  ive I've often found them useful because they've had a certain appeal, something that I can't really put into words. If my response doesn't help, I just hope you won't scrap it completely. Thanks!

    Nope, especially since I wanted to post as many contractions I could.
