Did you spot it?

Lisa Allen-Agostini is one writer of the Trinidad Guardian whose 'dialect written' columns I enjoy.

Matter take a different stance though, when in using dialect she also uses a word that does not exist, either in dialect or standard 'Queen's ' English. Did you spot it in this week's column?

Two weeks ago, same bank, different branch. I accustom with a next bank that does cash any cheque draw on one of their account, irregardless which branch it is. So when I get this particular cheque a day last week I say it don’t matter what branch, I could just go in and cash the cheque.

Her column this weeks is good as usual though.
