Does this sentence make sense?
Oh, so that is a ______, right? 'Cos it doesn't look like it.
Top answer
I never read "cos" as "'cause". It throws me every time because it looks like it should be pronounced "kahss". I suspect I'm not alone in that.
- I never read "cos" as "'cause".
- It throws me every time because it looks like it should be pronounced "kahss".
- I suspect I'm not alone in that.
- Such truncated words are fine in dialogue (except bad ones like this), but not in writing that is meant to be read by a general audience.
- Aside from that, it's good.
