Native speakers always use contractions when they speak conversationally, Newguest.

Hi Mister Micawber

 

I don't use abbreviations too often even when I speak, I just feel it's more difficult to me, especially if I had to say: ... the wind'll cut through ..

 

By the way: I didn't change any settings in my profile but I stopped receving email notifications. How can I fix it?
