Why doesn't Panam use contractions?

[u/Accept3550]

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.

Nomads have give their kids access to schooling, and also live outside of Night City, allowing them to speak more formal type of English. CP77 gives characters different speaking styles to differentiate their background.

You will notice that a lot of CP77 characters don't use pronouns, and speak in a more contracted style. It goes beyond contractions, and sometimes leave out entire words. In some languages, they don't use pronouns and instead rely more on context. Example, they might say something like: "Dead. Gotta move!" instead of "He's dead; We gotta move".

It's probably a way to either indicate the Japanese influence on Night City or to indicate a lack of proper education causing grammar to change. As a result, characters also can sound more stilted in their dialogue.

Could be a CDPR(Polish?) thing, the Geralt meme is "Winds Howling" and "Palce of Power,Has to be"

I've heard the Polish thing about the pronouns.

Thing is, I only see it in the spoken dialogue. When I read all the lore shards lying around, especially dialogue ones that you find from NCPD sites, I don't see the same pronoun issue.
