Why dost thou, Olde Englisc Speaker, not write "proper Englisc"?

"'Tis no such word as 'ain't'." means "It is no such word as 'ain't'."

Thy sentence makes no sense.

"Ain't" and "amn't" ain't so bad.

"Why isn't the contraction of am+not 'amn't?'

"In fact, in a wide swath of English dialects, it is. This word is common in Scotland and Ireland: 'I amn't sure what he said' and 'I am going, amn't I' are common in those variants of English."
