NO EXCUSE FOR "AIN'T."
It 10 About the Worst Contraction In
 the English Language.

It is About the Worst Contraction In the English Language. "Ain't" is an improper abbreviation of "are not" British writers spell 1t amt" which properly indicates it's derivation. Americans make it an in- elusive offense, using it for lam not" and 'is not" as well as for "are not" It is unquestionably the worst instance of slovenliness in the common speech of today.
 Yet it Is by no means of universal or even common use. It will slip occa- sionally from refined lips, always with a jar to the enunciator. as well as to the nearer. But the habitual user of "ain'ts" is careless of refinement He may be an excellent citizen who never beats his wife nor kicks the cat But there is likely to be something slipshod about him somewhere. For "ain't" is needless, as well as cacophonous. It fills no void and supplies no need.
 English observers complain supercil- iously of the laxness of American speech. American observers who have listened to the marvels of Lancashire. Yorkshire Devonshire and other shire dialects are inclined to resent any as- sumption of British superiority. But nate our own linguistic sins. and of these "ain't' is the most deplorable.- Cleveland Plain Dealer.
