Use short forms in essay: Gonna, gotta, wanna, ain't, yep, nope, shann't #1 (permalink) Mon Sep 07, 2009 1:41 am   Use short forms in essay: Gonna, gotta, wanna, ain't, yep, nope, shann't
 

.
As far as I am aware, you must not use short forms in your writing. Therefore, if you agree, do please do not use these bellow-mentioned short forms in your essays:

Gonna=going to
Gotta=a short form of 'have got to', 'has got to', 'have got a', or 'has got a'
Wanna=”want to” or “want a”
ain't= a short form of 'am not', 'is not', 'are not', 'has not', or 'have not'
Yep=yeah=yes
Nope=no
Shan’t= especially British English “shall not”
Won’t=will not
And…..
1-Use capital 'I' for the pronoun.
2-Leave no space before and one space after a comma, semicolon, colon or full stop.
3-Build your vocabulary; you should use a word one time in an essay.

any suggestion or comment would be appreciated.
:) :wink:

Hello Richard,

thanks for your tips.

this essay sample and correction is very interesting for me. I think you should give it more joke to get user attention :D

just like this one:

12- I think that eating is a very important activity, which you cannot do by the way.( Why we cannot do it( eat)? It doesn’t make sense.)

lol

I love you..

:shock: :shock:
you know that it wasn't written by me. Mr./ms/miss/Mrs Uk2group
and keep in mind that you are new here, so be careful about your words and don't pass such funny comments anymore. I couldn't remember who wrote it. It isn't acceptable to make fun of the writer anyway. you could not see the ? mark.

I love you too sweetheart.
