What's bad English to you (I'm assuming from this) is actually that last intact variation of Elizabethan English in the world. The yuns, ifns, yourns, thees and so on that makes up the colloquialisms of Appalachian English is far from bad English, it is what exists of Colonial English, Irish and Cherokee intertwined and basically unbroken in the centuries of our area being Europeanized.

Good day sir

Do they teach you the yuns, ifns, and yourns in grammar school, or did you get little red marks on your papers for using them? You can’t even type any of those words on a tablet without them being autocorrected.
