    I can only find it in American English, which isn’t really a language. It’s a hybrid of English and bollox colloquialisms.

    No apologies needed mate, I may be wrong, just can’t find it as a proper English word. I would also prefer it to be a kevism, to be fair

    "I is"
    ""When we was"
    "Innit"
    "Look what he done"

    All frequent bastardising of the English language that we hear constantly on TV now.

    "Your Man Uniteds, your Liverpools, your Chelseas" (plural usage for these singular entities)

    "I ain't never gonna" (that means you ARE gonna, which is precisely the opposite of the point you're trying to communicate)

    "He's a player" (I know what they're getting at, but they are all players - all of them)

    I would of, instead of would have.

    A whole nother thing, nother is not a word.

    Your going out instead of you’re going out.

    Their…there

    We’re, were, where all constantly mixed up.

    Random apostrophe’s


    It’s the gradual summing down of English grammar and spelling

    Yes. Also.
    "Off of". No such fucking thing.
    "Yeah, no". You mean No you thick cunt.
    "He ain't dun nuffin". So he must have done something.
