That if you can spell "ain't", you shouldn't be saying it?

That ain't right.
(how did that become a word?!?)

It's interesting how customs change. In 19th century England, the so-called 'upper classes' used 'ain't' with great frequency. As usual, once the practice spread to the working classes, the word (or, more accurately, contraction) became unacceptable.

Hate to be the one to break this to you, but you'll find the word "ain't" in Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. It is now an acceptable contraction for the words "is not".

If you can spell at all, you shouldn't be saying it... the correct spelling is "isn't".

It is a great word to use when answering a question with satire.
