Because or'Cause
In his song Chris Brown uses ""cause” (note the apostrophe) instead of
"because": "Cause if I got you, I don't need money." What is the difference
between ""cause" and “because"?
" Cause" is a short form of "because” and means the same thing. This
short form is fine for casual speech, but not suitable for formal speech or
writing. Some people forget to use the apostrophe in informal contexts, or
they might just be mistaken. What's more, some other people use completely
different spellings, like "coz" or "cuz." Using ""cause" is fine in conversation,
but otherwise you should use "because."
