There Ain't No Ain't
In my grade-school
days a favorite lesson of the English teachers' was that
"ain't" is not a word that's in the English language.
They would say that the "correct word" was "aren't, or
sometimes isn't" Aren't is a contraction of the
two words, "are not," was how the lesson went. Since
"ain't" isn't a contraction of two words, it's just "wrong,"
and shows you can't speak English, the teacher would say.
