I just like being ironic when it's not to be expected. of course dUFE is right. this two post thread just felt too short-lived to be.

for your information neomatrix, such spelling comes from spoken contraction of words. when written an apostrophe should be added to indicate the reduction

:arrow: mo' money, mo' problems


you may look out for more of these contractions:
I am :arrow: I'm
because :arrow: 'cause

etc.

In this topic you can always ask about other english words. This is why i name it - english language. Many of brainkiller's user don't have english as Official Language. Problems for these who don't live in country with english is slang which is not accesible in books for learning even in urban dictionary in internet.

"I'm" and "'cause" is easy. Problem with "mo" was for me that this wasn't in any dictionary which i know. Maybe if i could live in UK or USA i would know this word from speech language.
"Ho" is acronym from "whore" ??? I don't mean a Santa Claus "ho ho ho" :lol:

yup, I just geve you the explanation that comes with the answer you were looking for. hope it'll help.


while learning English I found some way things are to be more understandable when there is an explanation. for example, in French, the litteral translation of "I am 10 years old" would be "I have 10 years". teachers in school didn't tell me why it was this way but only how to properly write and speak. but I understood the reason for this by myself after some time.

last summer I did an English immersion (which, I realized, I didn't need) in which we learn bits of English idioms/slang and contractions. if you google for this (informal spoken contractions), I guess you might find some lessons on the matter. the rest, I believe, you'll have to learn it by yourself, unfortunately
