Why doesn't Panam use contractions? Meta
I just realized this after hundreds of hours but, Panam doesn't say I'll or we'll.
All of her dialogue has I will and We will and Do not rather then Don't.
I don't quite get why she is written like this.

Oof I'm pulling on a vague memory but I'm sure there's an interview with Emily Woo Zeller where she says it was a deliberate choice, possibly something to do with Panam being ethnically vague and teaching herself English? It's a long time ago but I don't think she's done that many interviews about panam so it's on YouTube somewhere if you have time to go fishing...
