The Scottish pensioner is what?
it’s not a contraction, it’s possession.
where the last word is omitted for brevity
I never knew you can just omit such key words.
well you can!
And if the sentence feels sparse you can drop “which” in there wherever, because apparently it’s just filler now.
If you’re a big fat liar
how will you ever cope
You’re weclome

X is kiss, O is hug (at least, in the UK it is)
that is also how it’s always been explained to me
