	I haven't read this thread, but here's my answer: The repetition of making sounds/writing letters/saying things makes language get simplified over time. Like how "I don't know" has gotten simplified to "I dunno" then to something like "Iunno". Edited by johntm93 on 09 August 2010 at 5:31am 1 person has voted this message useful
