Shit. So now, to be 'realised,' I'm going to have to give some bullshit name
to the grammar of my extended family in Illinois and stop being annoyed by
their complete disregard for the rules of grammar. Okay, what is a good name
for the dialect of Southern Illinois farmers? My mother is going to be so
relieved. On the one hand she will have to stop thinking in baby talk, but
it is okay for her to disregard verb tense. Agrarics.
