Comment (by francina):

 The ticket was mentioned during the new contributors chat on May 26th. The
 contracted verbs mentioned by the original reporter are probably not the
 only ones.
 I suggest we make a list of all the possible contractions we should be
 looking for in the source code and evaluate which ones have to be
 "searched and replaced" and which ones should stay as contracted forms. As
 mentioned by @Presskopp  "Do not you" is not a better option than "Don't
 you".

 Top of my mind: potential contracted versions of "to be" (I'm, You're,
 Isn't it, etc...), to have (haven't), and can/could as mentioned by
 @aandrewdixon.

 Does anyone else have any input on this? If you do, please leave your
 comment. Thanks!
