(2:00:38 PM) wuziq: ok
(2:00:43 PM) wuziq: tell me if anything is broken
(2:00:51 PM) geno: i'll
(2:02:09 PM) wuziq: ok, i don't know how they do things in india, but people here don't say "i'll" when they mean "i will." although, they should. i like it.
(2:02:35 PM) geno: whats wrong with i'll?
(2:02:46 PM) wuziq: exactly
(2:02:50 PM) wuziq: technically nothing is wrong with it
(2:02:56 PM) wuziq: since it literally means "i will."
(2:03:07 PM) wuziq: but people never say "i'll" all on its own
(2:03:16 PM) wuziq: "could u do this?" "i will."
(2:03:19 PM) wuziq: not
(2:03:24 PM) wuziq: "could u do this?" "i'll."
(2:03:45 PM) wuziq: if you say "i'll", people will think you're going to say something afterwards. "i'll...". "you'll what?"
(2:03:55 PM) wuziq: but, it shouldn't be that way!
(2:11:14 PM) geno: OK i'll
(2:11:22 PM) geno: ooops.. i will
(2:11:30 PM) wuziq: no
(2:11:36 PM) wuziq: if you've always said "i'll", then keep doing it
(2:11:43 PM) geno: i'll
(2:11:47 PM) wuziq: YESSSS
