Ain't is actually in the Oxford English Dictionary now, has been since the late 80's early 90's (something like that) so it actually is a word, despite the rhyme (which evolved before it's induction into the dictionary).

It is a word, and has been for quite some time now. It's in the dictionary, so it's a word. Ironically enough though, the word "gullable" is NOT in the dictionary. Ain't is, but gullable's not.

Spell Check is a dunce - together with grammar check. Born of the same parent, eh?

Ain't has been used for centuries, it's just some grammar snobs denied it's place in the language.

"Ain't" mustn't be misspelled even if you don't consider "ain't" to be a word.
