'Cause is technically a contraction used to represent dialect or speech, and not a truncation. You wouldn't see 'cause (or 'em or rockin') in a newspaper or academic essay, but you would see phone or flu. Perhaps someday 'cause might make its way into formal writing, but not yet!
And thank you! Any comments from the Kiwi perspective?
