[Image of text saying,

Some AAVE speakers pluralize ā€˜childā€™ as 'childrensā€™. People get racist about this (ā€œItā€™s already plural!ā€), but 'childrenā€™ actually comes from Middle English speakers doing the same thing: slapping their plural marker on word already pluralized by an extinct plural marker.

To oversimplify: in Old English, 'childerā€™ ('ċildraā€™) was the plural of 'childā€™ ('ċildā€™). Middle English developed an ā€™-enā€™ plural marker, which we see in 'oxenā€™. Instead of updating to 'childenā€™, people slapped their preferred ā€™-enā€™ onto the end of 'childerā€™ - so now we have 'child-er-enā€™. AAVE carries on this tradition with 'child-er-en-sā€™.
