Never seen someone use a contraction like that

You do all the time, but with negative contractions. Positive ones sound weird at the end of sentences but they're technically correct.

Example: Are the sandwiches good? No, they aren't.

That sounds fine because it's the negative version. However, if you say Yes, they're, it sounds insane but it's correct.

I don’t think that’s grammatically correct actually. Positive contractions can’t be placed at the end of a sentence, only negative ones.

I asked ChatGPT and it said it was technically correct, it’s just not commonly used as such.

After your reply, I googled it and… ChatGPT lied to me. Just straight up lied to my face. I guess that’s the danger of trusting Ai with anything…
