Difference Between dont and don't

The only correct form of this is don't. You should always use the apostrophe. Dont is incorrect.

AnonymousWhat's the difference? And when should I use don't and dont?

One point more

dont has no meaning in English apart from DONT which is the name of a bridge (card game) opening convention

And when should I use

don't when appropriate to short do not

and

dont as DONT or D.O.N.T. when

I see, I imagine the same thing goes for wont, cant, and shouldnt? won't, can't, shouldn't?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes. You must always include the apostrophe.

I think we need to accept that "don't" has no been contracted to "dont", that the way new works are formed

Does not => don't => dont

I have started adding it to all my spelling dictionaries
