Like it. I hear it a lot. I seen it on BGP a lot.

Trying to break the 5th grader of the habit.

So, on the grand scale, is "I seen it" > "I seed it," or worse than?

 

And for the record, I use "I seen it" a lot in conversation. But how I talk is way different than how I write and for someone to assess my intellect based on how I talk in friendly conversation would be quite folly on their part, and quite amusing for me when I call them out on their pretentiousness. It's important to be able to communicate with people on different levels, as the situation dictates it, and that's why my speech often changes depending upon the company I'm keeping at the time.

I've seen or I had seen but never I seen it.

Another favorite is "I seent it."

So. This story belongs here. And it may not transfer to the written word, but it is my favorite all time English/Grammar story.

 

In Northeast KY, a somewhat common term is "Woosh" i swear, it's apparently the past tense "wish" so you would say "I woosh i woulda did that" (that sentence hurts to type) RandyParker can back me up on that. Anyways. One day, someone (Person A) was telling me a funny story about the word 'woosh' and he said that person B said "wooshED" and he started laughing about how silly of a word that is, to add the ED onto woosh. He looked at me and said "can you believe he double past tensted it?"

 

i deserve an award for not having died in laughter. and i regularly hope to double past tensted things now!

Had a roomate from Omaha, Knott County. "Seed" and "knowed" were part of his everyday lexicon.

 

From the unofficial Kentucky medical dictionary:

 

Node: was aware of.

I say that to my wife ALL of the time. :lol:

I agree that it is annoying when people speak to impress people by using big words or "stilted" language, but I respect people who make an effort to use grammar properly. It bothers me less in the spoken word than when "I seen" it appears in writing. I work with some very competent professionals, but I sometimes shutter at the grammar I see in emails.

Likewise. Some of the emails I have seen from professionals has amazed me.
