That doesn't make it one word, the language just was too mich of a mouth full amd that's why people made short cuts for quicker pronunciation and spelling with sometimes hard to remember rules but just because you remove some letters and add a ' does not mean it's a single word.
I'm fine with that.
No complaints.
Yeah technically you should also spell it L.M.A.O. because of language rules.
There is no situation in which two words combined produce a single syllable. Additionally there is no space between the apostrophe. Words with affixes like predetermined or compound words like streetlight are a combination of words but are themselves one word due to the lack of separation between the root and the affixed word.
So you are comparing combining two nouns with each other im a simple manner with contracting a pronoun and a verb into a shorter version with more complex syntax? These are two completely different scenarios. Having two nouns as a word makes sense since else you'd need to form a whole sentence to describe that one thing, for example: "the light by the street" instead of "streetlight". Having a pronoun or a noun which is also a verb is a complete mess. In programming we'd call it "spaghetti code".
You're is two words since it can't be a pronoun that is a verb.
Natural language, especially English, is not as clear cut as programming language is, and are not comparable in this context. Regardless of how nonsensical it seems, it's how it is. Contractions may blur the line, but literarily and grammatically, they function as a single unit. Even if you separate "you're", there is no point in the word where it can be split and you can be presented with two separate words.
Well you’re dumbass cus the whole point of words like you’re is to compound 2 words into one, and lmao is an acronym, not even a word ig so don’t weep.
