Default "Mines" vs "Mine"

My tenant just told me

I put "mines" out by the street.

I don't recall anyone talking like that until recently?

Plural usage is not too uncommon...

ie.. "Moms gets mad when I don't do my homeworks"

Why does your tenant feel the need to mine out by the street, is the neighborhood really bad??

I know after I drop a "depth charge," the neighborhood suffers. . .

i'd also be on the lookout for IEDs while you're in your tenant's neighborhood

Debasing the language is common among the illiterati. They'd fit right in over at the Street Encounters forum.

Some of our employees say "mines"...I think it should be a BFOQ to use proper grammar when teaching children; but alas, it takes more to fire employees these days.
