    How about willn't rather than won't then?

    Won't = will not?

    Won't looks more like "wo not" to me

    I think it should be willn't.

    That's confused me now

    Stupid English.

    It's like the word "till", taken from "until", the extra "l" never made any sense to me. So is won't "will not", it must be actually. "I won't sleep with directhex" - "I will not sleep with directhex". Yup, fits.
