What I'm saying is that it looks like you formed the sentence in your head as "don't you", and then expanded "don't" into "do not" for... whatever reasons you have for wanting to avoid using contractions, but in the process forgot/didn't realise you had to also move the "not" for it to be grammatically correct. So in your head you probably are using contractions, you just intentionally avoid them in writing for some reason. :b

Ooh, makes sense. I mean, I still use contractions.

Pro tip for grammar, just go with whatever sounds right. Nobody really cares unless you make a point of it.

I would agree with you, but then I hear my roommate talk to his frat bros and I think to myself, "What the **** are you two even saying?"

So guys, this'll probably be my last ever post here.

I’ve fled my hometown, changed my number and stolen a 2018 Ford Fiesta, but nothing seems to be working. I uninstalled the Duolingo app 5 days ago, but I still get the notifications demanding me to learn Spanish. On the third day, I heard a window downstairs break and found a brick on the floor. There was a note tied to it saying,”Your time is almost up. Learn the ****ing mexican words or else”. I don’t have the work ethic to dedicate the effort to learn the language, and just accepted my fate. But the next day, when I found the brakes in my car removed after causing a minor accident at a nearby intersection, I realized that I’m afraid to die. In that very moment, I received another notification saying,“It’s too late for practice now. Speak the Spanish all you want, I will make sure of tu muerte”. I then turned around to see what I swear was a mass of neon green feathers dart behind a tree. I did not sleep that night, and I’m thankful for it. A few hours after I went to bed, the owl appeared in my window, but quickly fled after I drew my firearm from my nightstand. That’s when I decided it was time to leave, and later stole a car parked down my street. But I know that my fate is sealed. Because every second I’m not running, he’s only getting closer. The notifications from the deleted duolingo app have been getting progressively darker and more sinister. The last one didn’t even ask me to practice learning my language. It was just the owl asserting to me that he is God. I know I’ll die soon. I’ve accepted it. Yet I’m still upset that my life has to end because of my inability to learn Spanish.

I'm on Chapter 4 right now. What was up with that hot spring scene with Nia, Poppi, and Mythra? What was Mythra willing to keep a secret about for Nia?

Not related to the apostrophe discussion, but if we're doing grammar hour

Pretty sure this is incorrect, it should be "do you not" if you really must insist on not using "don't". Essentially what you're doing here is using "don't" and then expanding it on purpose, but ending up producing something that is incorrect and sounds even worse than "do you not" in the process. A question alters the word order of a sentence to place the verb first, but "not" never moves; the reason "don't you" is correct is because the contraction essentially becomes a single word, so the "n't" moves with the rest of it.

or you could just use "don't" like the rest of us and not sound so stiff and formal all the time :b

Currently that's intentionally hidden.

It comes up later. You'll know when.
