    Modulating one’s speech according to audience is not dialectic morphology, much less general etymology — it’s a matter of scope.

    You can use whatever you want, no argument there. Whether or not it comes off sounding semi-literate is more up to your audience and your own self-awareness than any “centralized governing body”, citizen. 🙇🏽‍♂️🫣
