Some say 't were better back to chaos hurled;
And so 't is what we are that makes for us
The measure and the meaning of the world."

@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
