I associate that variation specifically with non-native English speakers rather than a language evolution happening among native English speakers.

- Xelynega 2y agoBut you still understand it fine, no? Why does it matter how you feel about language evolving(especially bringing race into it)?
- deprecative 2y agoNon-native English speakers is my favorite race.
- stetrain 2y agoI didn't say how I feel about it or anything about race.
- estebarb 2y agoKids born in "native english" change the language too. For example, treat irregular verbs like regular ones. Languages evolve with time, regardless of non-native speakers using it.
- stetrain 2y agoAgreed, and I didn't say otherwise.
