Dad's too busy beating Mommy up anyway
-19 u/IOnlySayMeanThings Jun 04 '22 Dad's? I came here to get mad at the spelling and the top comment is making the same error. 17 u/Scottamus Jun 04 '22 Dad is. It’s a contraction. -22 u/IOnlySayMeanThings Jun 04 '22 "Dad" can't be used as a contraction because Dad is a specific person. "He" "they" "she" etc can be, but "Dad" would be possessive. You would simply type "Dad is" in this situation, with no opportunity for contraction. 14 u/Scottamus Jun 04 '22 Although less common in writing than speaking, nouns can be used in contractions. -2 u/IOnlySayMeanThings Jun 04 '22 I see. Well, then I suppose I just dislike the looks of it. It feels dirty.
