When did 'of' take over from 'have'?

[denlin 12]

So and so off Parson Cross,why not from Parson Cross ?

I've not noticed that in any articles and I read quite a lot. I imagine it is just in informal communication where a more phonetic spelling is common. I think it is great that people can feel free to write what they feel without the constraints of worrying whether or not they are conforming to standard English or not. I really enjoy it when you can get a flavour of how the individual speaks; the intonations and dialect. You can't get that when reading opinion pieces in journals or newspapers. It feels very down to earth and democratic to me.

 

But it can be rude to use terms which your (unlucky) audience find confusing.What would happen to a local person from Rawmarsh who got a teaching job in London?If they failed to modify their dialect the kids would rip them to shreds.

You was - SirAlan's favourite! It hasn't stopped him making a fortune though.

 

And another that's crept in, 'bored of'. Shouldn't it be 'bored with or by' ?

This was in use in the 1960s-you should of known that.

All the words mentioned on here are said the same down under too for some reason, and they don't know the difference between bought and brought either, even everything has lost it's place to everythink nowadays.

I've only really seen it in use since the 80s and it still doesn't look right to me. BTW my formal education ended in 1962, and we all used 'bored with' then.

I am sure you did but the education process in Scotland is more stringent than in England-remember Jean Brodie.

Have we addressed the "ect." issue yet?

 

And as for the most heinous gramatical crime of all - here's something up with which neither Winston Churchill nor I will not put!

And don't think grammatical inexactitude isn't important - it can be very injurious to your health!
