Has it become acceptable to use contractions in term papers? I've started grading my crop, and every single one of them has instances of didn't, it's, wasn't etc. I was taught, lo these years ago, that you NEVER use a contraction in a paper. Did I miss something? Is this akin to the double space after a period thing?
