I saw in a novel the following sentence "Well, he'd wouldn't be laughing so hard when he opened his Monday paper. " As far as I know, he'd contraction for either he had or he would, if so does it make sense? The sentence would be ... he had wouldn't ... or ... he would wouldn't ... Is this a typo or it has other meanings?
Top answer
The sentence does not make sense; it is a typographical error. It should read 'he wouldn't be'.
