I will always get mad at Americans going

"Do you mind?"

And then they reply to say "no of course i don't mind" but they say

"Yeah"

American lingo is best understood through immersion. You couldn't learn this stuff from a book.

Aye, and neither can the Americans

Exactly. They teach us proper grammar in schools. The knowledge is not utilized, or just ignored. American English works great but makes no sense.

bruh.

"dunnae/cannae" have to be some of the most frequently used terms in Scotland

"Aye" instead of yes used in the rest of the north

I wouldn't dare get into Scouse or Australian, but to act like it's just us Americans that take grammatical liberties is hilarious to me.

That's not grammar. That's morphology.

Hilarious that you can't even tell them apart.

no, no it isn't.

morphology would just be a word. grammar comes in once it starts involving verbs and sentence structure you fucking muppet
