[Grammar] irregular verb

[Monica de Celis]

hello,
I'm an English teacher. I've got a question... One of my students has just told me that in one book he's got, the irregular verb "hear" is also accepted as regular. I've been checking the internet, but I haven't found it as regular, and I've never seen it as regular... Is it correct to say I've heared?
Thank you!!

Not in standard BrE. I am fairly sure that it is not acceptable in standard AmE.

There's a very simple solution to this. Ask the child to bring the book to school.
The book might be a very old grammar book published by a company in a place and time where "heared" was acceptable. It might also have been published in Kazakhstan. He might also have misread the sentence.

It's never too early to teach a child that "I heard/read it somewhere", etc. is not evidence of much at all, and that if evidence of something important is said to exist, it should be presented for verification.

According to One Look Dictionary Search, it appears in Webster's 1828 dictionary, and Wordnik has this to say: Definitions

Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia

1. An obsolete or dialectal form of heard.

What's with the tweets, I wonder?

Does that mean "juss, mee, goingg, yooooo, u, mmmmm, remberrr, dats" are candidates for wordhoodness now too?

I think they are examples of wordhoodiness.

I think they are examples of wordhoodiness.

We grumpy old men think they are examples of unwordhoodiness.
