@Mitch This is the swum/lain shibboleth. Think about nonstandard dialects that don't/won't/can't use V3 forms the way that standard expects or requires they be used. (And yes, mandative subjunctives are another marker.) If they actually use V3 forms like swum and lain as required, and never misuse whom, then this marks them as prestigiously educated. :) — tchrist ♦ 1 min ago

@CowperKettle Ah, I thought you were talking about GPS devices, like my Garmin cycling computer.

I've just dug up all my MRI scans from February 2010 onwards, and I can see this white spot in the tectum on each of them. Why was it not not pointed out in all of the radiologists' impressions, and only this spring it was first indicated in text as an "area of gliosis"? I don't know.
I wonder where I can ask this question online.
Was it something resembling a non-imporant artifact? Maybe my latest radiologist is lacking in knowledge, and all the previous ones were better trained?

A: Prestige dialect speakers: which grammatical/stylistic/vocabulary features in your dialect identify you as using a prestige dialect in writing?

Araucaria - HimThere are two features that nearly all non-standard dialects of English have, but that Standard British English and standard American do not. As far as I know, no standard dialects of English have either of these two features. The two features concerned both relate to negation. The first is the i...

There you go Mitch!

@CowperKettle both may as well be correct, and if so, the bottom one is disingenuous by limiting the timeframe and cherry picking data
 
@M.A.R. Neither contradicts the other, but as you say the latter is more specific than the former. It's a "glass-is-half-full/glass-is-half-empty" or "seven-blind-men-and-the-elephant" or choose-your-metaphor kind of thing.
