This is an apocope, at best; it's considered an error or antiquated usage, otherwise. See here, especially point 1 c).
This usage would probably not be heard among the educated, but the press lets it slip by to correctly quote the individual who used it. If we use uneducated speech (even when we don't realize it's uneducated), it can get printed, videoed, or repeated unedited. I think that is what happened here. The press didn't change what was actually said or printed. I find misspellings a lot. Some may be direct quotes, but the majority come from people that don't check to see if they've made mistakes before they hit the Enter key. For example, I just encountered a video with post-edited commentary. Not only did they use 'primer' incorrectly, they wrote 'portrero' (instead of 'portero'), 'equiipo' (instead of 'equipo'), and totally messed up the punctuation in a single, fragmented "sentence." Ugh! |
