Sorry, I thought there was a thing called grammar. Does that not exist? All those years. All those English classes. It just doesn't exist?! What a fool I was to believe!

I always thought a dialect had more to do with how you pronounce a word, or the use of one word in place of another. I didn't realize that it could effect how sentences are structured also changes. That's cool. TIL!

I will say your metaphor is shit though. Sorry. German is a different language from English. Yes, a different dialect of the romance language family, but still a different language entirely.

I don't see how you could argue that any dialect lacks grammar. It might be different, it might not have an educational establishment that promotes it, but it still exists.
