--- mustn't ---

[Mikey]

I hate the word mustn't

The only time it's ever used is on hack written TV shows and movies

Nobody say's "mustn't" in real life

Thanks for reading

[vulcan2074]

I can't even pronounce that word LOL

[toys2cool]

don't think i've ever used that

[BlackKnight]

Until this thread, I have never spoken that word, heard that Word Spoken, Nore read that word Before. I didn't even Know Mustn't was a Word.

[SUP-Ronin]

Yeah, mostly old people use it when their trying to offer some sort of lesson.

"One mustn't forget to put on ones coat, or they might catch a cold."

I don't care for the use of "one" in that context either.

"One must always remember to keep track of ones money" or whatever. It sounds very dated.

Ooops. I HAVE used that before, explaining things to my kids. I guess I'm old. I would say, "You musn't do that!"

Then you slap their knuckles with a big wooden spoon.

My Aunt did that. Ouch.

I like it I would rather say that than "must not".
I also like Isn't.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Another word I don't like is "should". I always replace it with "could"

[jwyblejr]

For some reason,you see that word used a lot in Toyfare.

[Mikey]

"you better not" sounds a lot better than "mustn't"

example ....

You better not go ......

You mustn't go ......

Mustn't sounds like a word George Lucas would use in Star Wars movies

[huedell]

Isn't "musn't" basically an English (UK) term or a hoight-toity term?

It would make sense to use the word in a STAR WARS movie (as Mike
referenced) 'cause they have a lot "cultured" speakers in it...and it
seems like a good word for Threepio even (he's got that "hoity-toity: thing going!)

It's the Queen's English.
