Add the word "mayn't" to the official English dictionary

Petition Details

We believe that the abbreviation ''mayn't'' (as in 'may not') should be added to the official English dictionary. It is unfair that similar words like 'can't', 'don't', 'shouldn't' and 'mustn't' have earned the privilege to appear whereas 'mayn't' has not.
