People who are bored and just killing time. Or like me who just like to get a reaction from others. We're the type who the majority are probably not married or we'd be busy with our spouses.

1 : am not : are not : is not
2 : have not : has not
3 : do not : does not : did not — used in some varieties of Black English
Origin: contraction of are not.
First use: 1749
Usage: Although widely disapproved as nonstandard and more common in the habitual speech of the less educated, ain't in senses 1 and 2 is flourishing in American English. It is used in both speech and writing to catch attention and to gain emphasis <the wackiness of movies, once so deliciously amusing, ain't funny anymore — Richard Schickel> <I am telling you—there ain't going to be any blackmail — R. M. Nixon>. It is used especially in journalistic prose as part of a consistently informal style <the creative process ain't easy — Mike Royko>. This informal ain't is commonly distinguished from habitual ain't by its frequent occurrence in fixed constructions and phrases <well—class it ain't — Cleveland Amory> <for money? say it ain't so, Jimmy! — Andy Rooney> <you ain't seen nothing yet> <that ain't hay> <two out of three ain't bad> <if it ain't broke, don't fix it>. In fiction ain't is used for purposes of characterization; in familiar correspondence it tends to be the mark of a warm personal friendship. It is also used for metrical reasons in popular songs <Ain't She Sweet> <It Ain't Necessarily So>. Our evidence shows British use to be much the same as American.
It isn't any of my concern, if you wish to be considered 'nonstandard' and / or 'less educated'.
Yer callin my bluff? How many violations have I accumulated? And are you keeping track of everyone's transgressions? Plus who said yer rules were the rules fer this site? Hmmm?
Are 'IIN' answers representative of the views of the wider public?

No, we may attract a somewhat diverse group of people but to an extent, we kind of attract a limited group of people by nature of the site.

"Whatcha", is not a word.
"Wichita", is a word. It refers to a tribe, who formerly spoke a Caddoan language. Also, several places named after them.
Please use proper spelling.
What do you think?

Violation.
Please see Rule #10.
Transgression; Contempt
Please be honest with yourself and others. [There are a few exceptions to this, poker is one of them.]
The Rules are not just for this website. They are for everyone around the world.
The VHATC-L2 said so. You can ask them, if you get the chance.
