You can't honestly mean that you say _slå ren_ for standard written _slå det_?!? In my 'lect, I've got _slå det_>_slå't_, _slå den_>_slå'n_. I assume you'd say _slå ren_ for the later, but surely you don't have anything involving an /n/ for the former? Some people'd say _slå re_ - perhaps you too? As for "old rural dialect", I certainly don't speak any "genuine" dialect, having grown up in places spread all over southern Sweden. I'd think my speech is more Standard Swedish than most peoples'.
