What's with the double posts? Is the fabric of the universe starting to rend?
There is only one way of avoiding the war – that is the overthrow of this society. However, as we are too weak for this task, the war is inevitable. -L. Trotsky, 1939

Didn't I point out the risks of this earlier?

It really is, but wouldn't the world be better if it weren't?

Will the fabric of the universe start to rend if Data comes in here and posts a statement in which he states that he is asking something and uses a contraction?

I'm not sure, what do you think?

Since Tsukiyumi had mentioned the possibility that the fabric of the universe might rend, and since Data using contractions would cause a similar effect, why on Earth did you ask a question with such an obvious answer?

But surely the fact of a DITL thread remaining on-topic would be a greater risk than Data using contractions?

Hasn't Data used contractions many times?

Isn't Data using contractions one of the bigger YATIs, Rochey?

Why would Data even use contractions in the first place?
