Actually, "ain't" made it into the unabridged dictionary several years ago. Most people don't accept it because their mothers told them it wasn't a word. A generation ago "ain't" was considered slang for, or even a dumbed down version of, "is not". However, like all things from rock and roll to bikinis, the more they are used, the more they are accepted. "Ain't" made it to the dictionary in the middle 90s, if I remember correctly.
What blows my mind is how a letter (w) can have three syllables? It is a freakin' letter!
