Link: Lincolnshire memories and dialect

I came across this site accidentally; I was wondering if the word that my grandfather used for "Starling" - starnil - was dialect or illiteracy.  It is dialect.

"Nah Then"

I came across this site a few years ago, by 'Googling' Melton Ross as my husband's rellies came from there, and realised that all the words he had been using for years were actually dialect, like starnil and foot trod.  I wasn't sure whether to believe him or not before.
