    Usage notes

    * This spelling, like any nonstandard spelling, risks appearing condescending. Even when going to has the pronunciation that denotes, it is usually spelled <going to>. * , like the pronunciation it denotes, only occurs when indicating a future tense (something that is bound to happen or is planned); hence “I’m gonna go now”, but not *“I’m gonna the mall.”
