Does AAVE also use "theirselves" ?
- somecontext 9y agoThis article http://acrwebsite.org/volumes/7610/volumes/v21/NA-21 http://acrwebsite.org/volumes/7610/volumes/v21/NA-21 claims that AAVE uses "theirselves". A quick search on Twitter suggests that "theirselves" is indeed used by people who use "hisself", but perhaps half an order of magnitude less than "themselves".
