Hi,
This is a question addressed to the speakers of American English within the context of my thread entitled Have you a clue? (Have you got.../Do you ...?).
There I asked the British speakers about the usage of the main verb have in questions and negatives as follows:
Have you a brother? I haven´t a brother.
I wonder if you have ever in any regional or social variety (dialect/sociolect) of American English heard American native speakers couching questions or negatives according to the above pattern.
I should very much appreciate your experience.
