I was sat

[msrisotto]

Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! It is driving me absolutely up the wall. My DH has either just started making this particular grammatical error, or I have only recently started noticing it. I am not allowed to correct him anymore.
Worse than this though, is the fecking Telegraph who have just published it in this otherwise vaguely interesting piece that I now cannot finish.

It's not the dialect I grew up speaking, but I've been living in Yorkshire for the past 20 years, and it's perfectly valid local dialect.

YYY Falsewidow, where do these soft southerners get the idea that a Yorkshire dialect involves lots of stray 't' sounds?

I don't know the technical linguistic term for the thing they are trying - inaccurately - to reproduce, but it is not a stray 't'!

I think edam that they think it's how we say 'the'. DH is unfortunately a southern softie and delights in trying to impersonate (my relatively mild) Yorkshire accent (he wouldn't understand a bloody word of someone from Barnsley! neither can I ) by saying things like
"Have you got owt for t' dinner, then?" or something equally ludicrous.

I think (though I haven't given this as much consideration as I would like) the only time I might say something like 't' is in conjunction with 'to' - e.g. "I am going tuh pub." where tuh is a combination of 'to' and 'the' and they sort of get merged together ... not 'the' on its own. Any other examples though? I may be wrong.
