Difference is, though, all those words (besides decollate maybe) just sound silly, whereas "shan't" has a refined air to it.  Refined I say!

[Verdauga]

*Gives Verduga a grammar nazi uniform.*

[Verdauga]

*Gives Verduga a grammar nazi uniform.*

(*Grammar patriot.)

*Grammar Nazi

[Booklover]

*Gives Verduga a grammar nazi uniform.*

*Verdauga

[Verdauga]

You know, I kind of wonder if that 'a' changes the way people pronounce 'Verdauga'.
