A writing system wouldn't have an *official* way to convey an
ungrammatical aspect-at first. "Popular usage" would eventually take
over.
"Thinkin' " is ungrammatical, but replacing the "g" with "'" is the
proper way to write it.

Modern playwrights have become obsessed with writing human
interpretations of alien theatrical works while ignoring completely
our own unique cultural heritage.~Bashir; "The Die is Cast" (DS9)
