Note
A spelling that records a pronunciation, with chile as its singular. The consonant cluster in the middle of children is reduced, but the grammar is unchanged: it is still a plural noun taking plural verbs and pronouns (the chirren are, their chirren). It belongs in written dialogue that renders Southern US or African-American Vernacular speech. Elsewhere, write standard children.
