what does it mean using "me own" inspite of "my own"

Post by allowed »

Hi, help me please understand this it's just incorrect or legal using. And if this is correct what does it mean?

First example:
"And it's all me own work from me own memory"

Mary Poppins film 1964

Why he use "me own" and say this "mistake" twice? I don't get it.

I found other examples:

Sometimes I don’t know me own strength.
Proulx, Annie / The Shipping News

“I have me own course,” Catti-brie replied, her face suddenly stern.
Salvatore, Robert / The Halfling’s Gem

Nonstandard/uneducated speech. Do not imitate!
