To be annoyed when DS says "amn't" in conversation?

[SpeckledLog]

I know the dictionary probably lists it as a word but when he says it in conversation it gives me the feeling of fingernails on chalk.
Is this a nationwide trend now that we just have to get used to?

My mum says puggled too, she’s English - lived in Scotland for years though.
Don’t like amn’t though it’s lazy
Or yous
I don’t say anything though, unless it’s my own kids,

Say it here - I'm from edinburgh

Scottish too. Very common usage

Also northern Irish thing - I hate it though!

Never heard that, do use "am ur" and "amurnae" though, I've never even given it a thought that they aren't words, writing them down is a bit strange.

I’ve never heard ghat phrase also in London and deal with lots of teenagers- does he mean ain’t?

I say it and hear it regularly and I've never thought anything of it. East coast of the Central Belt (of Scotland).

Is it mainly an East Coast thing then?

I’m east coast Scotland

Absolutely normal, my DD uses it all the time. In Ireland here.

I don't like it when my son says
"I dunno" to add to it he says it in a really droning tone , which infuriates me

So it might be an East coast thing then. I'm from Glasgow which might explain it.

My younger brother says that 'am ur' and 'am urnae' thing but he is a posh East Coaster who has moved to Glasgow and it's so affected. It makes me laugh

Not sure it’s one I use (Highlander), but my London boss now uses “outwith”

Actually is it another form of "int a" the realisation right now that I say these "words"

PenCreed I use outwith on an almost daily basis (lawyer) and despite evidence to the contrary I cannot bring myself to believe it is not used outwith Scotland. It's a very useful word!

Also the 'big' light. Do people really say 'overhead light' every time? Think of the hours wasted saying those extra syllables!

I'm trying really hard but have no idea what that says, sounds like or means? 😭😂

I keep trying to say it out loud but all I'm getting is "ammonite". I'm guessing it's not a fossil reference (but would be pleased if it is )...

Never heard of it. I have lots of glaswegian friends and family too.

one I read it as "am I not?" as in, "I'm really clever, amn't I?"

Spare a thought for South African me and Russian DH with 2 year old DD who says "Cup a tea?" in a Scouse accent, thanks to her best mate's dad.

I read it and wondered if it was an abbreviation for 'amount'.

Never heard it, also can't work out how it should sound.

Look at the section on ‘derived from old English’ (the whole entry is interesting reading though)

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiberno-English

NE Scotland here

I'm Glaswegian and have only heard amen't a few times. But my mind has been blown by outwith....is that just a Scottish word?!?!?!

Marius

I say outwith too, never really knew it was more of a Scottish thing.

And yes, The Big Light! Everyone I know calls it that
