"Snowflake" and "Larla" - two words only used by someone who has been on here for years, day in day out. Poster, please get a life or a least a hobby (besides DCUM)!
I will reach back to my youth and throw out a well worn phrase: takes one to know one.

Yes, this.
On the contrary, when your child speaks this way, he or she sounds a pedant who precisely follows proscriptive grammar rules. That's a great way to mark themselves at a young age as someone who cares more about arbitrary rules than as someone who wants to communicate or be understood.
Frankly, this sounds like the behavior of a child on the spectrum.
