Acquisition of prescriptivism
Last night Nora (3) was jumping on her bed screaming "I don't want to wear nothing!" as I attempted to get her pajamas on. From his bed, Max (6) pipes up, "Sissy, saying you don't want to wear nothing means you want to wear something. Right dad?" Applying the poverty of the stimulus argument it appears that prescriptivism is innate. I know he didn't get it from me.
