They talked in a proper manor, not with contractions because it was IMPROPER. They would say a phrase like " the day is lovely", or " I am dreadfully sorry to hear about your mother."

In the 1700s, people spoke using the language and dialects commonly used in their region or country. Speech was generally more formal and polite compared to contemporary language, with vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar differing based on social class and education level. Written letters and documents from this period provide insights into the language conventions and communication style of the time.
