I just said amn't like 30 times out loud, trying to make it sound like a contraction of am and not. I still don't know if I'm saying it right. And my cat is looking at me strangely.

"Amn't" (I pronounce it "amint," i.e., "am" and "int," though the i is really a schwa, of course) should make a comeback. It makes much more sense than "aren't": after all, does one say, "I are not hungry at the moment"? Usually, anyway?

Well no, but I wouldn't say "I aren't hungry at the moment" either. I'd say "I'm not hungry at the moment". Still a contraction of "I am not", just in a different form.

P.S. I like the typo in your subject line.

Yay!

True. It was a bad example. Aren't I blushing now!
