Some AAVE speakers pluralize 'child' as 'childrens'. People get racist about this ("It's already plural!"), but 'children' actually comes from Middle English speakers doing the same thing: slapping their plural marker on word already pluralized by an extinct plural marker.

To oversimplify: in Old English, 'childer' ('ċildra') was the plural of 'child' ('ċild'). Middle English developed an '-en' plural marker, which we see in 'oxen'. Instead of updating to 'childen', people slapped their preferred '-en' onto the end of 'childer' - so now we have 'child-er-en'. AAVE carries on this tradition with 'child-er-en-s'.

"Pure" language is just impurity obscured by the passage of time.

Being "good" will not make you invulnerable to disease, assure you of job promotions, or protect your children. Even being yourself will not add or subtract one iota from your life; it will only make your perceptions a bit more keen, soften your heart a little, deepen your dark places until they sound the depths, and brighten your shining to reflect your experience more clearly.

Two combined nocturnals, sundials and lunar volvelles, by Linge de Foy, 16th century

This navigation tool was used to calculate time at night. Similar to an astrolabe or a sundial clock. A pointer, much like a hand on a  clock, determines the time at night based on the position of the North  Star in relation to another constellation, such as Ursa Minor (the  Little Dipper).
