I got hung up on contractions this morning regarding the word “you’ve”. Normally, I’d say “you’ve got a problem”, which expands to “you have got a problem”, which isn’t wrong, but I normally wouldn’t say. Not contracting, I’d say “you have a problem”, so then should I just say “you’ve a problem”? That sounds weird in my head. Is this just a US English problem?
What’s the use of giving you the answer when you can look it up on the internet?
To have a brief conversation. I can look everything up myself, but it’s nice not being a basement dweller every now and then.
It was just my crass humor. I used the noun version of the word “use” because you said you couldn’t figure out how to use it.
