Yeah!!! I get what you're saying!! The English language is pretty strange.
Someone I know never says don't, won't, wouldn't etc.
Years ago he was in a group that discouraged the use of contractions like that....I dunno why - maybe so people would think before they spoke.
Anyway, if I ask him a question, he'd say,
I do not know.
Are we late? I do not think so.
Is that yours? No, it is not mine.
Don't you feel cold? No I do not.
Never knew anyone else to do it.
