Isn't It Is It Not?

This may be a new low for mundane and pointless, but I just noticed this:

“Isn’t it” isn’t a contraction for what is actually being shortened, which is “is it not.”

Weird, hunh?

Whaddya mean, I need to get out more?

Ain’t that strange…

On the same lines, have you ever pondered the grammatical quandary that is “aren’t I?”?
