I'll preface this by saying that English is not my mother language and I'm sorry if this isn't the right community, but I didn't find a more appropriate one.
Last year I started to notice more and more people on YouTube for example using the verb "to put" without a preposition -- like "Now I put the cheese" -- which sounds very weird and kind of feels wrong to me. Is this really used in spoken English and is it grammatically correct?
I can’t speak to whether it’s grammatically correct or not but I noticed people speak like this in Los Angeles. I moved here from the Midwest 10 years ago and this is one of the first things I noticed.
I also know/hear/speak Spanish and I really think this is where it comes from.
