Thank you for Irish English speakers for using "amn't" and singlehandedly shoring up this language
#me and the entire population of ireland out here solving everything wrong with english 🥰🥰#i gain like +20 hp every time i hear someone say 'amn't' in the wild and it's always irish people so shout out to the real ones <3#also lose 20 hp every time someone says 'aren't i' like you're not serious are you#how does that sound okay in your ideolect. like i know that it must but it sounds so unbelievably artificial to me i hate it#it sounds like the sort of thing people were trained into by annoying prescriptivist teachers#but no people genuinely produce tokens in informal speech. unbelievable. what is the world coming to#anyways thank you ireland for being right yet again#perce rambles
