Quote ="jacques"I were a teacher for many years and it always amazed me how some children consistently said and wrote I were and we was.
One would think that if people have no idea which is correct they would be right 50 percent of the time.
But no, they consistently get the two the wrong way round.
I bet I have let myself in for some stick now.'"
I think a lot of it is down to the Yorkshire dialect, for example if I was writing in an exam or something, I would put "I was walking down the street with my friend" but in speech it would sound like "Ah were walkin darnt street wi mi friend"
