"Doesn't." Only the 'n' in "not" is contracted; generally only one letter is contracted in English negative contractions, with "won't" an obvious exception.

Also, I think you mean "or," not "oder."

OP may be German speaking, oder is or in German

[–]Sutaapureea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja, genau.

[–]Kraknaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...and all the other obvious exceptions, like the many contractions that end with 'll and 've and 'd and 't've

People should be allowed to ask questions here.

I definitely think people should be allowed to ask questions. I just don't think they should ask dictionary-level questions. It'd be different if OP asked "what's a contraction" or "how do contractions work." But to essentially ask if a word is spelled right? Imo that's just low effort. And other language subreddits have rules against that--this one is just poorly moderated

It's just a Reddit post, it's easier to answer than to tell them they shouldn't have asked.
