I saw a smart meme today. This is not it.
When it comes to doing this right, this is not it.
"is it" is the whole verb, and "is it not" the unabridged reciprocal or whatever the term is.
It's spelt innit
Or at least that's what it sounds like when I say it
That's because people got their words all mixed up. Back in the day, "is not it" would absolutely be the normal way to phrase "isn't it."
It sounds weird today of course.
I know this is a really old post, but “is it not” is also the formulation in other Germanic languages, so we can assume that it was the same formulation in old Germanic.
Why won’t this work => why will not this work
Why will this not work.
Your sentence reads super wrong to me.
The contraction is “will not”
Try it Shakespearean 🤣
"That is not it, isn't it?"
I've definitely seen "is not it" used before, usually in the context of things like speeches or rhetoric where someone has considered what to say beforehand and wants to keep a sense of formality. Generally it'll be part of a rhetorical question, like "Is not it better to be x than be y?"
There is a fairly common way to use the phrase, but that is not it.
Notit?
Factual And correctorant.
Its OK, but the best meme ever? This isn't it.
They don’t think it be like it is, but it do
