Question about English (US)
I've heard that the abbreviation of words is not only the difference in simplicity but also the feeling of human acceptance. is that true? if yes, how is it different?
for example
I am / i'm , I will / I'll , I would / I'd etc

Contractions are the common way native speakers speak. We often don't use contractions when we want to sound adamant. Example. "I won't do it" becomes "I will not do it" This let's me stress "not" with my tone of voice. I'm making it really clear that I object to what was asked. It's unlikely that an English learner would be perceived as adamant by using "I will not do it" simply because they don't apply an angry/annoyed tone, but it still doesn't sound like a native speaker would.
