	Not a bad quiz, but I have a few suggestions: 1) change "He'ss" to "He's" and "Arn't" to "Aren't". 2) Randomize the order - it'll keep us on our toes. 3) Offer less time than 10 minutes. Part of the fun of Sporcle is not only to get every answer to a quiz, but also to get every answer in a limited amount of time.

	couldn't figure out how to get "it'll"

	I tried to type in it'll also and itll. Funny how a quiz asking for contractions (requiring apostrophes) doesn't really have to have appostrophes be entered due to how Sporcle works. Are some of these really used? It'd?

	It didn't accept "it'll" for some reason.

	wouldn't is on here twice and couldn't get it'll to work

	Catherine_F:	Nov 25th, 2009 at 09:31 GMT	4 points
	That's because for some reason she has used an L instead of an I. Sort it out!

	Is this supposed to be an exhaustive list? If so, I think it would be better to not show the base words. Contracting words isn't difficult. Remembering them all would be!

	Definitely not exhaustive... notable ommisions: "Let's" and "shan't"

	kagomeshuko:	Nov 26th, 2009 at 03:57 GMT	1 point
	You need to fix it'll. Also, need to include shan't.

	Don't forget double contractions! I'd've (I would have), wouldn't've (would not have), etc.

	drummerchic312:	Nov 26th, 2009 at 06:08 GMT	2 points
	thank's for the feedback. There are too many double contractions to add, plus there not that common. I added let's and shan't. I think it'll is fixed, and that is impressive you found out I used a differnt letter cause I would have never figured that one out

	rlnintendo:	Nov 26th, 2009 at 23:13 GMT	2 points
	i love shan't, its my favorite contraction! love the addition and im glad its there

	nucleolus101:	Nov 28th, 2009 at 20:55 GMT	2 points
	great quiz!

	puse:	Dec 12th, 2009 at 20:15 GMT	2 points
	add who are = who're, or without the apostrophe: ****

	calvinballing:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 14:27 GMT	1 point
	Would be better without the clues. Maybe clue them just in groups (negations, future, etc.)? Either that or put in a restrictive time limit (say 2 minutes).

	WyvernSabres:	Apr 28th, 2010 at 23:42 GMT	1 point
	@gqb: I agree it'd be a better quiz if the apostrophes needed to be typed. Oh, look! I just showed you, in relation to the contraction you queried, how it'd be used.

	bowsntoys:	Dec 3rd, 2011 at 05:29 GMT	1 point
	What? No y'all? (just kidding!) Great quiz. :)
