'Could have went'

OMG! I like literally, I mean literally died when I read that.

Loose instead of lose is my pet hate.

Actually I've just realised it's normally ; 'could of went'
Which is so bad it's almost illegal.

"Could have gone" .....is normal

Correct.
Not in the Celtic lands though apparently.
Nor it seems in a few districts on England either.
It's like a virus.

Blame Shearer.

BBC Breakfast sports presented didn't seem to know how to pronounce 'either'.

Seemed to think he was talking to an American audience.

I grew up as a northern monkey but in 1990 was given the opportunity to work in Margate. The thought of seeing the sun more than twice a year was too much to resist. However on arrival it seemed that the locals were speaking a different language for which there was no phrase book. One that has stuck in my mind ever since is "that int wot I got erd" which apparantly means. That is not was I was told.

Sure it wasn't..... "That isn't what my goat had" ?

Local dialect tends to be parochial.
Around where I grew up (Yorkshire) and the midlands it is said there to be more slang words than anywhere else in the world.
Speaking in dialects was common for me, it varied depending on to whom I was speaking, but if I spoke slang in the house I'd get a good slap.
The difference between slang (made up words) and poor grammar is that slang generally refers to a word or phrase that is actually correct, whereas grammatical errors are correct words that are just incorrect.

Incorrectly used

In fact my mother's parents would say 'darrn oil' for 'down the hole' but if I repeated it my father would kick the 5hit out of me.

Them ones seems to have taken hold, one time the language of 5yr olds.

Apparently in Wurzelville if you wish to confirm that someone gave you something the correct wording is "Ah, er gave I ee you"

Nope, me neither

Dusty it's darn t'oil in true yorkie

Think that's further north.
I've never hear anyone use 't' other than Monty Python.

South Yorkshire are even lazier and don't bother with 'the' hardly at all.

Come to think of it 't' is 'to' in South Yorkshire not 'the' at all.

He ewe me £20  ,although he  borrowed me his car for the day.

Newsreaders ,teachers etc make a few mistakes  - hardly any knoe the difference between Bought and Brought .

Although i always say ,if you can be undertsood it doesn't make a difference, i like  a bit of Jafaican innit ?  - Dun know bruv ,if vat's your fing i respect dat too, Safe  !

'Learnt it me' instead of taught it me is another absolute siren of stupidity.

at least it's not could OF went.

just l/w/class dialect dustybin  -  I don't think it means the speaker is any more stupid than anyone else

OR MORE LIKELY - the speaker doesn't read much ,if you read a lot you will realise its 'could have '

In speech it sounds like 'could of'

I beg to differ coachbuster.
I hear these terms quite frequently and barely with exception it tends to come from those who didn't value education/ left school very early/ were failed by the schooling and resulted in a stunted scope of an individual which is mostly prevalent in the outlook they have and factors into where they tend to end up.

Through all this evolushy, and despile complicateymost advanceage in technoloppers, what remains constant is the smileage on the facebole of peeploders at the deep joy in the eardrobes of musicold appreciashy. Oh yes.

These threads always bring out passionate responses....

"that int wot I got erd" which apparantly means. That is not was I was told.

Some of mine from personal experiences....first two in South Yorkshire...

Me "Is your wife around?"

Him "Ar lass..nay cocker, she's painting t'roof ot'ouse"

Asking for directions from three flat capped old guys, on a bench, in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire...

"Tha goes darn 'ere and tha turns darn quick"!

Somewhere in the North East, at a working mens club, when trying to carry out a survey....

Steward comes out of his flat onto the roof of the beer cellar.

Braces, and a belt 4" below his waist, and an Alsatian which would have eaten me if he could have got down!

"Howay man, howay"...
I took the advice and left pronto!
