Spot on that Past Tense.It's JETE not Jets, that one drives me up a wall

I noticed that my phone will use "gotta" if I say it while I'm dictating a text, even if I said "I've" right before it. Apparently, it doesn't want to help me out and just change it to "got to," leaving me to have to edit it. Considering it autocorrects/changes most other things, I wish that one would get added to the list.Coulda
Woulda
Shoulda

I've heard that for a long time now but it wasn't always so. If you look at movies from pre-'70s or so "hung" was more often used, both in US and UK films.

Clothes are hung.
