[Question about Data and contractions deleted]

>Am I mad, was this a mistake, or maybe it was deliberate?

Whether that one is deliberate or not I don't know, but this subject has been
discussed several times in the past in rec.arts.startrek.

I think you'll find that it is generally agreed that there have been a few 
stuff ups with Data and his use (or lack thereof) of contractions. You'd
need to ask a more devoted person than myself for full details of episode
names etc, but I know this has slipped through several times.

I'd be inclined to quote the producer of Quantum Leap and say (when asked
about some minor continuity type problems) - "Don't examine these too
closely".
