Contractions like 'hasn't' didn't become standardized in English until the 17th century, largely due to the influence of playwrights like Shakespeare, who used them to mimic natural speech in works like 'Hamlet'. Today, they help save an estimated 5-10% of text in digital communications, equating to billions of characters conserved annually in global messaging.
