| Apr 17, 2016 at 16:05 | comment | added | WS2 | People have used this form for generations, but it is non-standard and not considered sophisticated, unless it is being used to achieve some sort of emphasis. In fact it sounds rather child like. I am sure my four-year-old granddaughter speaks in that way sometimes. | |
