There's nothing wrong in literature, language changes all the time.
Dickens and Brenard shaw used "They was" and they only lived about a
century ago.

Yes, language changes all the time.
That's the whole point I was making. However we don't say
'they was' today, no matter how many dead writers may have done so in the
past.
Therefore it is *wrong*.

Charles Dickens died in 1870, so rather more than 100 years.
There is this thing called 'the internet' where you can look these things up
you know, to avoid looking like an idiot.
