I have been inadvertently using:
- The classic adverbs "pure" and "dead", as illustrated below in Prestwick Airport's slogan "Pure dead Brilliant".
- "actual" used instead of "really" e.g. instead of "Are you really!?" in Maryhill you will hear "Areyeakchul?!"
- "stay" where the vowel is /aɪ/ as in the vowel in "bye"
I have yet to pick up such beauties as:
- the past tense of jump "jamp"
- the past tense of jump "jamp"
- "am ar" = I am
You've gotta love the peculiarities that sprout from the English language!
