I can and do relate to these, but grammatical errors when I see them shriek and take me out of what I'm reading. And since they serve no purpose, why? They didn't come across as purposeful or even vernacular specific to a character, just as lazy and ignorant. I don't see blank verse as antithetical to correct grammar. Similarly, errors of diction as in using "hone" when "home" would have been correct draw attention to themselves and interrupt the flow. And that one really is ignorant, no excuses.
I'm still enjoying this, very much indeed, but I wish editing didn't tend to exist in the breach these days.
