Wow, I'd never seen these contractions

[najatarabia]

We make it shorter when we have a modal verb and an auxiliary verb together, right?

[AntonAnton-vngx]

Should not have = shoud'n'a in american english?

Is the contraction form of water is spelled water's? I can't find it anywhere and the only time I see waters ever has an apostrophe is plural and plural possessive and they're both spelled waters'

To be honest, I believe this kind of contraction is unnecessarily difficult for second language speakers. It's much more difficult than saying the entire word. I don't think it's worth the effort to learn that.
