Believer  +  242197 Mon, 03 Jul 06 12:53 AM Are these sentences the same (same???) ? Sir, I am regret to report but he won't do it. Sir, I am regret to report but he will not do it.  Believer Joined on Mon, Jan 2 2006 Contributing Member 1,969

	YoungCalifornian  +  242204 Mon, 03 Jul 06 03:13 AM Well, won't is a contraction of will not, so it that sense they mean the same thing, but both sentences still share some other grammatical problems.  I would rewrite it as: Sir, I regret to report that he will not/won't do it.  YoungCalifornian Joined on Mon, Feb 14 2005 Los Angeles, California Regular Member 586 Contractions
