My favourite saying

TheDankHold,

When it comes to doing this right, this is not it.

Gleddified,

Its OK, but the best meme ever? This isn’t it.

ace510,

there are many right ways to make a meme, but this is not it

mvirts,

There are many ways to comment, ain’t there

Stabbywithsocks1,

mvirts,

Idk

DScratch,

There am indeed.

hiyaaaaa23,

Why won’t this work => why will not this work

fushuan,

Why will this not work.

Your sentence reads super wrong to me.

timmytbt,

The contraction is “will not”

timmytbt,

Try it Shakespearean 🤣

It’s spelt innit

Or at least that’s what it sounds like when I say it

w2tpmf,

I saw a smart meme today. This is not it.

Openmindedskeptic,

That’s because people got their words all mixed up. Back in the day, “is not it” would absolutely be the normal way to phrase “isn’t it.”

It sounds weird today of course.

idiomaddict,

I know this is a really old post, but “is it not” is also the formulation in other Germanic languages, so we can assume that it was the same formulation in old Germanic.

I’ve definitely seen “is not it” used before, usually in the context of things like speeches or rhetoric where someone has considered what to say beforehand and wants to keep a sense of formality. Generally it’ll be part of a rhetorical question, like “Is not it better to be x than be y?”

The_Hideous_Orgalorg,

There is a fairly common way to use the phrase, but that is not it.

radioactiveradio,

Notit?

“That is not it, isn’t it?”

‘Is it not’ is the proper syntax.

I hope I’ve been informative.

Robdor,

‘Is itn’t’ for the second option.

theatremaker,

How to un-downvote a post?

theatremaker,

This is the reply of my dreams, thank you

Click the down arrow a second time.

bane_killgrind,

“is it” is the whole verb, and “is it not” the unabridged reciprocal or whatever the term is.

BananaPeal,
@BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works avatar

You can, it just sounds wrong because we don’t.

hglman,

*doesn’t

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

It doesn’t even sound wrong. It is something people use. Just not as often.

“Is this the thing you’re looking for?”

“That is not it.”

variants,

That isn’t it That is not it it

Isn’t = is not, where are you getting the second it from?

variants,

That isn’t it That is not it it
