The d of liked gets assimilated into the t of to. It's usually used speaking of something that happened in the past. ~ faldageMaybeso, but that is the way english will be talked in the far future, so listen...
I like ta died when I heard faldage yankee-talk about a "
d " being swallowed up by a "
t ".
Double damn talk and snake tongue devils, don't the man know that the "
t " has already to much to do, "
ta " being a contraction of "
to have", the use of "
like" rather than "
liked" is simply a "
temporal allusion" that brings life (by way of immediacy) to the idiom, which "
ta " restores to the proper tense.
Geez! Sometimes I get so upset I cuss in yankee-talk.
