Contractions

Use positive contractions, such as:

  • you're
  • we'll
  • there's
  • we're

Do not contract:

  • should have
  • could have
  • would have
  • they have

Do not use negative contractions like 'can't' and 'don't'. Many users find them harder to read or misread them as the opposite of what they say. Use 'cannot' and 'do not' instead.
