It's not a thesis you're writing here, right? And I agree with you wholeheartedly: winter, especially the beginning and the end of it, sucks. Hell, the middle part sucks too. Sucks! <strong>You are both right, this is not a formal or official text. I just wanted to save my reputation as a language purist :)</strong> Use “don’t” and “it’s” as much as you like, as blog text doesn’t need to adhere to formalities.
