IP: *.ppp.clsm.epix.net 20.03.03, 18:32 actually, it's very common in american english. example: "...but she don't care how i feel...". i guess, people in english-speaking countries don't care about grammar as much as people who learn english, as long as others understand them.

The same in London with Cockney....."I goes..." means "I said...." :-))))) Polish is also full of such 'mistakes' which are generelly accepted and are ignored. :-)))) Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
