> if there is a broad tradition of people saying and writing, "I can do that easy" But is there? It sounds awful to my ears. Does this not just boil down to the distinction between prescriptive vs descriptive camps? I believe there is in fact a broad tradition of people saying "I be (going to the store)", but I would say that usage of "be" is incorrect. As well with "I'm gonna ..." or even "Ongonna ...". This type of language can certainly be used "correctly" in prose, to add color and flavor, but I would never expect to see it in a proper non-fiction context.
