-s after 2nd person preterite

Question

Is it normal in some countries to put an extra -s after the 2nd person preterite of the verb, e.g. escribistes, comistes, escuchastes? I've seen this quite too often that I don't think it's a typo. Thanks.

Answer 1

This is incorrect.

I remember a little girl, Mariana, in Mexico would occasonally ask me, ¿Adonde juistes? (Adonde fuiste) and it is cute at that age. So you may hear children do this, but adults have no excuse.

• That's right. That's exactly the reason I asked the question. - Deanski Jul 11, 2010

Answer 2

Thanks, but with the way you worded it, though, you're too close to saying I'm one of them. I don't have any insecurity toward my education but how it sounded just didn't sit that well on me.
