Weird grammar
I've lived in the People's Republic of Yorkshire for ten years, and I'm still not used to the language. I've learnt that "while" replaces both "since" and "until", and that "was" and "were" can both be singular and plural, but what really gets on my tits is when colleagues phone me up to ask "Can you check me a number?"

"You mean, can I check a number for you?"

"Yeah, can you check me a number?"

Am I right in saying that the problem is that "to check" is not a ditransitive verb?

Chesterfield,
North Derbyshire.

That is fucking endemic down here.

And is coupled with the worst of Derbyshire's grammar.

"while" meaning "until"
"us" meaning "our"

I'll stop, or I'll end up killing the next colleague that manages to malconjugate a simple verb.
