It's just struck me that I have never heard a question said this way:
"Do not you...?"
I find it a bit strange, as one always hears "don't you...?", so there should be also a full form, I guess?
I sometimes come across "do you not...?", when the speaker wants to stress 'not', but never "do not you...?".
E.g. when I write a letter, I am not supposed to use the contracted forms. So how would I write it?
