I am reading a book entitled "Sussex as She Was Spoke". In a rhmye, the author has quoted a verb formation like this: "He do know wot ee's about" (or something similar).

The verb conjugations from "to be" seems to have interesting variations in the third person singular. It brought to memory a scene from "The Alamo" (with John Wayne--I know) in which one of the characters (Widmark playing Jim Bowie) is dying. He's asked if it hurts. He replys, "It do."

I have heard similar in Newfoundland (although not just in the third person): How bes you? I bes fine!

Do any of you notice that type of things where you live?
