Ich glaube langsam das ist eine Lachgesellschaft. You can let the
sarcasm slows down here since you say the peasants are wrong. Are they?
They are the people who made this language. Not me, not you and not
generations of linguists & or analyst of language. And you cannot say
they are wrong. You can just say the way they speak doesn't fit in the
"tried_to_be_found" rules and I guess , that should be the only one
thing which can be said about peasants.
