    I have definitely seen it do things that I didn’t agree with mainly because they weren’t a part of my dialect before (I can’t recall a very good example of that, but one that is kinda similar but not quite was when they used “deli” to mean a place that sells sandwiches: where I live, delis tend to sell the meats that would go on a sandwich, but not the bread…so like ham, salami, that kind of thing), but I don’t think I’ve ever seen an example where the use in their preferred dialect it still required some fudging to get it to work.
