I am a tutor. Aren't I? Why do we say "Aren't I?" intead of "Am I not?" in the above question tag?
aren’t I isn’t incorrect. It’s been in use for at least 130 years, the alternatives are all insufficient, and the “logical” arguments against it are fallacious. It’s no more incorrect than using better instead of gooder.
