I'd say it reverts to the conjunctions should've, could've and would've - which come from should have, could have and would have. These are not necessarily 'proper' use of the English language, but that'd be me explanation to this here conundrum.

hey paul good to see you posting again man!!!hope your doing well dude!!!!!

[Paul Wolfe]

Tito, thanks for the warm welcome... all is well here.

I'd like to correct my earlier post - the proper word is 'contraction' not 'conjunction' - don't know what I was thinking.

Of course people speaking in text is insane to, I mean saying, "WTF" or "IDK" istead of saying the words? In a text it's one thing, but when you are actually talking?
