Compound..... Contractions?
We all say "I'd've" (I would have), "shouldn't've" (should not have), "s/he'd've" (s/he would have)....funny. I'm noticing all the ones I know have 'have' in them.
Anyway...we all say them, but how often do you write them?
When I Googled, the most compounded one that came up in early results was "Y'all'd've" (you all would have), which I've never used, but "y'all" is not a term I commonly use.
(I'm in N Central California now and grew up 50/50 in San Francisco and London)
