It is not said in Greece - at all. According to the school grammar book taught all over the country, the vowel contractions in such verbs are compulsory.
You will hear it in Cyprus though. Very frequently. Standard Modern Greek is taught in Cyprus but there is great difference between the spoken dialect there and the 'official', taught Greek that is mostly found in written format, if I am not mistaken.
So it is part of the vernacular for a number of native speakers, but, if we go by the books, it is not really a proper term.
Edit: To clarify, you would be understood in Greece just fine, but it would sound like you have not mastered conjugations.
NOPE, NEVER. Duo doesn't reject sentences for lack of accents, punctuation etc. You had another error.
You should have made a Report.
