Language is defined by what people say, not by lists. If your list doesn't include "It'd" as a contraction of "It would", then your list is incomplete, as you'd know if you listen to waht native speakers of English actually said.. Your failed attempt at a pedantic response is just one more bit of data in the dossier that identifies you as a pretentions nitwit. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

It'd be quite startling if you ever post something that isn't AlwaysWrong. *snort*
