Re: The Present Perfect in American English I looked "I was stood" up ub the corpus and it only found 6 entries. Is it not just an example of the English using incorrect spoken English? Just watch Eastenders to get plenty more examples such as "they was..." I even caught myself (and my mother) saying "Where's the keys?" I know it's wrong but somehow my brain chucks it out. I'd be intereded in your thoughts. |
