Yup. Consider what Shakespeare might have thought about our current usage of what we call 'correct English'.
'Boi' is an interesting one... it's a whole different word, when I see it used, to 'boy'. Derived from 'boy', obviously, but definitely not interchangeable.
Back to contractions... I wouldn't think that the basic contractions would slow an
experienced ESL reader too much. Depends on your market, I guess.
