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?

@PralineCookie ... i originally lived lanarkshire..now central scotland.

My grandmother (whose parents were Scots) would tell me off if I said 'aren't I'. It had to be 'amn't I'; she would say 'you don't say "I are"'.

Growing up (in London) I often heard 'outwith'.

Another Scot who uses it!

I use outwith. And somewhen for somewhere. I'll now add amn't I which is grammatical. A. because I'd like to keep these things in our language B. because I'm very affected.

I use it regularly, think it’s fairly common in Ireland.

It’s Irish, my mother’s side all said it.

Highlands here: My kids say they use it - though its more of a primary school / younger age thing.

What confused me for a while (I'm an Incomer) was my Scottish born kids saying 'jamp' as the past tense of jump.

"I jamp up and said..."

I'm Irish, say it all the time. Typical bloody English - they say "aren't I", which is completely incorrect grammatically, but then scorn the Irish and Scottish for their correct use of language. FFS.

An east coast Scot here (from Fife) and “amn’t” was perfectly normal and acceptable where I grew up. Indeed, as a PP said, it was quite ‘proper’ , compared to ”umnae” (or, in the second person, “urnae” 😄).

I also switch on the big light (as does my posh English DH) and have no idea how non Scots manage without outwith!

Amn't - very common in Ireland

Although my favourite is "I do be"

Outwith is only used in Scotland.
