Grammar
Have went vs have gone
0 Hi all, 02 br
02 br
00 I have a co-worker who constantly uses "went" instead of "gone". For example, "Have the payments went out for these vendor id's??". I know it is incorrect grammar, but I can't explain to her exactly why (it has been too long since I was in school). 05 0 00 Can someone please give me the reasoning behind using gone instead of went in this instance? 02 br

00 Thanks in advance! 010id 5

I just wanted to support the post about it being a dialect, and I'll go even further. This is a characteristic dialect in American English, particularly in the midwest, where it is the norm for not only "uneducated" people, but for educated people as well.
