I Seen!

[Tinijocaro]

Here is my VOTD (vent of the day):

People, when you say "I seen....whatever" it is just wrong, the correct thing to say is "I saw....whatever"

"I seen...." has been in at least three different posts today.

Also, as a friendly reminder, deFINITEly has the word finite in it, not finate.

Thanks for the vent.

Bravo!

Also - ridiculous does not contain an e.

Nothing wrong with having a bit of a grasp on grammar and spelling, it shows respect to the reader! Plus, spell check will catch 99% of this stuff regardless.

"I seen that" just makes my skin crawl....

This could be the start of a very long series...

I look forward to a new VOTD each and every day.

Yes, and so do noone and prolly. I have a lot of grammar/spelling pet peeves.

I believe that "I have seen" is also correct from a grammatical standpoint.

Eh... say what you want as long as you have a big heart. I won't judge a person who seen someone discard animals and rescued them. I have nothing but for this person. Now if a poster rode in on their high horse to tell us what great thing they seen, I might mock them a little.

ETA: It used to make my skin crawl until I started dating DBF. He says it all the time and is quite smart, just not book smart. There are all kinds of smarts.

I couldn't agree more. It bugs the crap out of me, and most times ppl. do it on purpose. I don't understand why you would try to make yourself sound uneducated

Yes, this is also correct.

 

[loco4dis]

Yup. "I seen" is right up there with "I could of went…" Cringe-worthy, indeed!

Prolly is one of my LEAST favorite pseudo words on the Dis.

Here in Oklahoma some people put an "l" sound at the end of saw.

I sawl that movie too.

 

[mum4jenn]

My former assistant manager used to say the "I seen..." all the time. It drove me crazy!!!! Oh...and conversate. UGH!!!!

Prolly also really gets to me!! There are many others but a new one I saw the other day on another board was one about "bran" new this and "bran" new that.

I do not care for people who use "text" shorthand and/or incorrect forms of "yes" in a reply.

hehehehehehehe


RUM?

That's wrong on two levels since "I could of gone" isn't right either. My biggest pet peeve is using "of" in place of "have". :::shudder:::

It's could HAVE, would HAVE, should HAVE, people!!!

"I seen" has always been my personal pet peeve. I can't begin to believe the number of people that use it; most of them supposedly educated.

For the record, the word "seen" ALWAYS requires an auxiliary, or helping, verb.

 

[PigletsPal2]

My personal pet peeve is the misuse of "hopefully." Hopefully is an adverb and must modify a verb - to wait hopefully, to speak hopefully, etc. It should not stand alone - hopefully, we will go to WDW thi summer - that drives me crazy!
