descriptive use
Explain when the list of terms are actually used; not what the prescriptive grammarians states is "correct" or "incorrect," but the actual usage.
For example, some native speakers say: "It don't make no difference." This is real usage, even though from a prescriptive or school perspective it is incorrect.
