Mention wont as common misspelling of won't?

[edit]

I suggest adding mention of wont as common misspelling of won't.

What do you think?

Past of verb to be

[edit]
Other forms of negative past be include warn't, common in American folk speech in the 1700s and 1800s, and wont, as in It wont me or They wont home. Wont, which often sounds just like the contraction won't, historically has been concentrated in New England and is also found in scattered areas of the South.
