"didn't used to" is idiomatic English even though it makes no sense in terms of its component parts. | |||||||||||||||||

I'm not sure what you mean by "idiomatic", but it is certainly not valid grammar, even though it is more common now. It is a beginner mistake people carry over from other languages. I agree English is not consistent, but the usage rules are specific. Can you provide a reference from an authority on the English Language, if you meant it is valid grammar? | |||||||||||||||||
