Someone else on this thread mentioned that they weren’t allowed to us contractions in school. I seem to recall something of the same. I was a WWII baby boomer and things were different back in the late '50s and early '60s.
In conversations I'll use contractions except to emphasize a point. In writing I tend not to use contractions. I'll then reread what I wrote and change it so that it reads in a less stilted manor.
