Members 1001gear Posted July 30, 2021 Author Members Share Posted July 30, 2021 Makes no sense. There is no word "wo". The closest is "would" but that's the wrong tense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators daddymack Posted July 30, 2021 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2021 wont? means apt, inclined or likely...whereas won't is a contraction of would not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted July 31, 2021 Author Members Share Posted July 31, 2021 I think I distinguish between wouldn't and wont. (Hmm spell check allowed the missing apostrophe) Wouldn't seems more speculative than wont which seems authoritative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
