English contractions like 'who'd' can reduce the total word count in a conversation by up to 15%, as noted in a 2010 study by linguists at the University of Pennsylvania, which analyzed casual speech patterns. This efficiency not only speeds up dialogue but also reflects how language adapts to human laziness and cognitive shortcuts for better social interaction.
