13:28 <noNickno> can you explain whts "won't" means /
13:28 <noNickno> ?
13:28 <Jezral> It's short for "will not"
13:29 <noNickno> hmm
13:33 <noNickno> do you hava an example ?
13:33 <noNickno> have*
13:34 <Jezral> I guess, "He won't eat fish." if a person doesn't like fish.
13:37 <noNickno> why no: "He will not eat fish" ?
13:38 <Jezral> The long form is used to emphasize the point.
13:45 <noNickno> Jezral: will not = won't ?
13:45 <Jezral> Yup
13:46 <noNickno> yup ? yesh
13:46 <noNickno> but we use "will not" to emphatize the poit ?
13:46 <noNickno> point*
13:46 <Jezral> Yes
13:47 <noNickno> but what's emphatize the point ? what point ?
13:48 <Jezral> That it's the person's will to not do something.
13:50 <noNickno> ok
13:50 <noNickno> I dont want to be annoying
13:50 <noNickno> but can you give me an example to show the diference ?
13:52 <Jezral> Think of explaining something to a nearly-deaf guy. Using "won't" a few times and he doesn't hear it right, but "will not" he can better hear the seperate words.
13:54 <noNickno> ok
13:59 <noNickno> than for you patience
13:59 <noNickno> bye
