Because we never contract "am not" to "amn't" in English, we say things like "Why aren't I invited?", and we rarely think about how grammatically weird that is.
There. I hope I've made your passage through the English language slightly more fraught.
Have a nice day.
heh. I recall, at some point in my English learning curve, thinking that "ain't" was the contraction for "am not".
I'd much rather say "Why am I not blah?" than "Why aren't I...?" 😅
