Lol. You'd be amazed at the things you say that are considered non-standard. In a lot of my upper-level linguistics classes there are people from all over the place, and we will be discussing some particular example of regional dialect and I'll have to ask what exactly is non-standard about whatever it is.Originally Posted by katiemae1277
what's wrong with those phrases??Sounds perfectly normal to me!!
One of my professors actually asks me not to make grammatical/non-grammatical judgements based on my intuitions because they're just so strange sometimes.
For instance, until I started college I didn't really know that "broughten", "boughten", and "dranken" weren't the usual respective past participles of brought, bought, drank (there's others, but you get the idea).
