I do sometimes, but "Ada'll" just sounds odd, I think it's cause of the /dl=/ at the end. Actually, I guess it's not a grammatical, but a phonetic, restriction for me. Nik'll (or Steg'll) are acceptable in my idiolect, altho they still sound kinda weird. But with final vowels, especially /@/, I tend to avoid that contraction. -- ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTaylor42
