Contractions or a lack thereof.
So I just started playing Clans cause it's on gamepass now and I have a question. I like to think I'm relatively brushed up on my battletech/mechwarrior lore, but did the clans just never invent contractions or is that simply a writing/dev team thing?
In case you're confused as to what I'm talking about. Contractions are when two or more words are shortened and joined, with missing letters being replaced by an apostrophe. Such as "can't" instead of "can not" or "don't" instead of "do not."
I don't know why, but for some reason the absence of them in English dialogue makes the whole thing sound... just a little off to me. I can't out my finger on what it is, but it just sticks out to me. I first noticed it with Panam in cyberpunk 2077 and have been fully aware of it everywhere else, since.
