    The fact that you seem to not have seen this before indicates that you cannot actually always contract ‘you’ and ‘are’.

    I’m still re-reading this sentence. How does not having seen this before indicate what you can or can not do?

      Because language is a thing that everyone agrees on, together. If nobody else is using the words like that, maybe you shouldn’t either.
