Expand Contractions
Contraction expansion rewrites shortened forms such as can't and we'll as full words. This tool expands forms ending in n't, 're, 've, 'll, 'd, and 'm, plus can't, won't, shan't, and it's, and keeps the original capitals. Other 's forms stay because they are usually possessive, unknown forms such as ain't stay as written, and 'd always becomes would.
