Is using the "s" for the first person ("I calls" and "I sees") some kind of dialect ?

"I've been reading until you came" vs "i read until you've been coming"
Someone stops you while you were reading to ask you which book you've been into and then you reply: a) This one (pointing at the book itself) i've been reading until you came. b) This one (wiggling the book about) i read until you've been coming. Questions: Are there any subtle difference between these two options? I know "read" (past simple) naunces more the action now gone but this might as well have a more stress on why the action ended. Like being mad because of someone coming and crossing words. Do you agree?
Can anyone explain to me how the title of my post is confusing? Thanks in advance

Water off a ducks back and fall on deaf ears? Interchangeable or no?
I've been working really hard to get better at using idioms. But I often come across idioms that are very similar and that's when I get confused. The title being an example. Another would be "slip of the tongue and let the cat out of the bag". Really curious to know how natives use idioms so naturally.

Does anyone say “can I swap seats with you/ can we swap seats?” instead of “can I switch seats with you?” in contexts of trains or planes?

What does "totes" mean?
I'm reading this adventure time comicbook, but idk what "totes" means
What are YOUR guys' morning routines?
Why 'your' instead of 'you'? It sounds so unnatural, for ex, 'It was your guys' idea'. Do people actually say 'your guys'? or do they just drop 'guys' and stick with 'your' to avoid sounding weird?
Shouldn't it be 'officially becomes', instead of 'becomes officially'?
Or do both work?
Is the phrase "Make the kids breakfast" used to mean both making breakfast for kids as well as serving the kids breakfast?
In everyday conversation, do native English speakers use the phrase "make someone breakfast/dinner" to convey the idea of both making and serving breakfast/dinner for someone? Or is it used to mean preparing only? Thank you in advance!
