Everybody has a different language. Most Americans speak English, but that doesn't mean that they use the correct English that everyone can comprehend and understand. Some people are raised to talk differently in certain settings with certain people. In public, I say "no ma'am" and "yes ma'am" to women. I don't care if it is a total stranger or if it is a family friend. I speak that way because it is how I was raised to communicate.
Amy's mother wasn't really speaking bad English. It was just the way she was taught. She didn't know how to put thoughts together in a correct sentence. Some people could understand her, while others could not. Everyone has a different way of speaking and writing. Depending on where you live, you may have an accent. It may be hard for other people to understand you if they live in a different area of the country. The "language" Amy's mother was speaking really wasn't "broken". I like to think that it was just real simple.
