While I'm listening to music, I always try to write down the lyrics myslef (to improve my listening skill). I wanna know what's the meaning of this word "Ain't"; the song says; "Ain't nothin' but a mistake". I think it's an old English because most of the old books I read use (in') instead of (ing) as in the sentence above: "Ain't nothin'..." Instead of "nothing". Also they use "cuz" instead of "because" etc...I want to know why do old English is different from the recent one?. Old poetry and literature prove the difference...we ofen rely on dictionaries in order to understand the meaning of words.
Thanks in advance
