Though Lancashire through and through, I abhor the usage of "He were agate." Meaning "he said." Took my army colleagues about 3 month of ribbing to stop me from saying it.
Most communication is spoken though so the meaning is understood- 'should of' is heard as 'should've'. We see on here that some people always choose the wrong their/there/they're or mistake too and to, or misplace apostrophes, but when speaking it's not noticeable. One poster here always gets 'has' and 'as' the wrong way round but even that doesn't generally stop us understanding what is meant
Indeed. And I think it’s really unnecessary and unacceptable to pull anyone up, here, on their use of these words. It’s very rare a post is totally unreadable and makes no sense.
I know that’s not what you’re doing here Sandy.
