What did you think of this episode?
"Here's you a piece of pizza. Where's me some silverware? There's us a table." We'll talk about this common grammar pattern and where it's spoken. Then, we'll switch to the word "wool," a word used as a verb in vernacular southern Englishes since the 19th century, as in, "The little boy is wooling that kitten."
Research for this episode comes from the Yale Grammatical Diversity Project and Dictionary of American Regional English.
