AEE 2414: Why Do Native English Speakers Make This Mistake?

In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, Aubrey and Lindsay discuss the use of incorrect grammar by native English speakers, focusing on the specific example of "rethunk" as a past tense of "rethink." They explore two main reasons for this phenomenon: unintentional grammar mistakes influenced by regional dialects or education levels, and intentional misuse for humorous or self-deprecating effect. The hosts emphasize that while such errors are common in certain contexts, they are generally not recommended for English language learners. They also touch on other common grammar errors and provide alternative phrases for expressing similar ideas, and share a role play demonstrating the concepts discussed.
