    So how can you state it’s a dialect and not a grammar mistake?

    What’s the difference between a dialect and lack of education of English language & grammar?

        Using “your” as “you are” is more common than “Did you born”. I suppose that classifies it at as dialect then.

          Like dude, my overall point is that people different places use language differently. We shouldn’t need to code switch to talk like the Queen of England (and won’t, but the way) just to appease some grammar Nazis. Dialects that all of us are unfamiliar with exist
