why do i need to put the negative word before the verb (eg “i don’t sit”) when i could just use a contraction (eg “i sitn’t”)

I don't claim to be a linguistics expert but this is what i got from a quick rabbit hole: When Old English became Middle English, the negation prefix "ne-" was replaced with "not", which was placed after the verb (a similar structure to how we use expressions like "I haven't the foggiest"). At some point, the verb and negation swapped, so the "not" is now in front of the verb (there was a reason for this but the video i watched didn't tell me it and i'm too lazy to find out lmao). Of course, we know that "I not sit" is completely gramatically incorrect, it should be "I do not sit". So where does that "do" come from? This insertion of "do" is known as do-support, or the "dummy do" as the guy on youtube called it, and we can see it in questions ("Do you sit?") as well as negations ("You do not sit") among (hehe) other scenarios.

This is the lovely tree that mr youtube man drew to show this. When we negate, we want to put something on that [T] (tense) bit. The problem is that there's nothing there to put something on. Normally when this happens, we would move the tense over to the [VP] (verb phrase), but the [T] can't get through the negation. We know this because, even though we have "He" as our pronoun, "dance" does not become "dances", because no changes can get through the negation. So since we've no place to go, we let the dummy do snow, and we replace that [-past] thing with our "do".

Of course, this sentence doesn't make grammatical sense, so we need to change that "do" to "does".

And there we go! I have finally answered your question. Thanks wikipedia and mr youtube man for explaining this to me In case I forgot anything or got anything wrong here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YoX-o1w644 tldr: you could have used a contraction if you lived in like the 1400s but not anymore because reasons also redux if you dont read this imma be really mad because i spent like 40 minutes on this

At my funeral all the attendees will partake in the Funeral Games™. Basically someone chosen by me will throw a bouquet of black roses into the crowd and whoever catches it is the next to die. It's like the thing you do at weddings but you die instead of getting married

I don't know what the hell they put in pringles but they're fucking divine. I literally feel like I've been graced by Zeus by munching on those dainty little hyperbolic paraboloids. I am not worthy of the irreplaceable cathartic serenity I feel when my tastebuds are crowned with the celestial glory of the first bite. They must lace that shit with supercharged crack or something because no matter how hard I try I can't stop myself. Once I pop that lid they're all gone before you can say "fuck I love pringles". Honestly if they sold that sour cream and chive flavouring in a bottle I would 100% snort it. The FBI genuinely need to get involved at this point because there's gotta be some extraterrestrial shit going on in the pringles office to conjure up those things.
