Evolution of English and German

Erm...proper German doesn't have it. What do you mean? If you mean they don't use the "do" with negatives as in "don't say" ("tu das nicht sagen") in this non-standard German we've been discussing in this thread...?

I do speak with people who use the "do" helper verb with positive statements and interrogatives, not so sure about negatives. If that's what you mean, then I don't know whether I agree or not. But I'm not sure what you mean.
