A Little More Spicier?!
Hi,
Sometime ago I saw a native speaker expressed the mentioned phrase. I am definitely sure that she was a native one because it was quite palpable from the accent and the sound of her voice. But how does this happen to a native speaker? Is it possible, in informal contexts for sure, to use such evident mistakes for I don't know some kind of emphasis for instance? And I do remember this sentence from a game, "I swear man, I didn't know nothin' 'bout no zerg!", which at first I realized that told so just for more stress. And here ,again, almost all the crew was native speakers, including voice actors of course.
Thank you.

movo I heard a native speaker say the that phrase. Yes, native speakers often speak phrases which are ungrammatical in standard English . Sometimes it's an honest mistake, sometimes they are speaking a "sub-standard" dialect, and sometimes it is for shock or surprise value.
