The use of -s in other than 3rd person singular present tense verbs is a
characteristic of certain English dialects. All persons have -s.
However, somewhere I read - and I've looked and looked for it and can't find
it - a direct relation to the "I sez" sort of usage, but it is related to
the -s in all persons dialect feature.
