Are we texting our posts now on the Dope?
2 instances of using “u” instead of “you”, 1 instance of using “ur” instead of “your” and then the second sentence isn’t punctuated (and that doesn’t even begin to account the missing indefinite and definite articles).
Why is anyone even bothering to reply to this idiot?
Because many Dopers are not native speakers of English; we’ve learned to tolerate a wide range of errors.
Probably much the same impulse as chipping rocks at the rats down at the garbage dump.
Gaudere’s Law in action.
I meant “correct use of possessives”! And also punctuation in general!
There were no contractions in the post I quoted.
If they aren’t native English speakers I would highly doubt they are fans of Donald Trump.
Au contraire. A Trump presidency would bring America down a few pegs; a boon for non-Native English speakers all over the world.
That’s quality entertainment! Good for a whole afternoon of healthy, clean exercise!
I was wondering if a possessive counted as a contraction. “John’s” is short for “John, his.” Maybe not.
Getting back to Mr. Trump for just a minute, he and Ted Cruz seem to be competing, in the wake of the Brussels bombings, to see qui est mas macho:
Mr. Trump has (unsurprisingly) reiterated his calls for torture of terrorism suspects and a ban on Muslims entering the US:
…while Mr. Cruz, not to be outdone, has demanded that law enforcement “patrol and secure” muslim neighborhoods, whatever that may mean:
Hey, other countries. You feel you need a head of state who will kick ass and take names? They’re yours. No charge. Take them. Please.
Hasn’t Rafe noticed that there are few Muslim neighborhoods in the US and that Muslims can, and do, live most anywhere?
Just wait until he’s President. There will be Muslim neighborhoods. Most likely with walls.
Quien es mas macho. Yours is a strange melange of Latin and Spanish. 
Creo que Senior Trump es mas macho. But compared to Sr. Cruz, that don’t mean much!
Shut the border! Jail the Muslims! Bomb the Syrians!
Are we in for a whirl wind campaign season!!
Or: As the Stomach Turns. (With thanks — and apologies — to Carol Burnett.)
And they’ll all have to wear crescents so we’ll be able to recognize them.
Pero Hillary Rodham y Clinton es mas macho de todos!
Light bulb, or school bus?
With great public transportation! Aren’t liberals always going on and on about public transportation? We’ll have uber-efficient rail transport to and from these new settlements.
Well, to, at least.
No. It goes back to Old English case marking, in this case the marker -es used to form the genitive singular of most strong declension nouns, and the masculine and neuter genitive singular of strong adjectives. (Old English had a rather interesting grammar.)
That “his” stuff is folk etymology from the Sixteenth Century. It’s ignorant of the actual linguistic history.
To answer your question: It isn’t a contraction, it’s a clitic; specifically, a genitive clitic. (The Republicans want to defund those now.)
I want to take a moment to commend the maturity and good taste of my fellow Dopers for steadfast refusal of this straight line.
And he’ll make those Muslims pay for that wall!
Us? Maturity and restraint? Lick my clitic!
