"Seen" Instead of "Saw"

in May 2008 Weddings

People in Knoxville say "seen" a lot when it should be "saw" and it's driving me crazy. It's actually more the surrounding counties, but every day at least twice a day someone will call and say, "I seen a house on XYZ street. How much is it?".

This has become my latest peeve. I'm sure I say things that sound funny to everyone here, but holy cow this "seen" thing is on my last nerve!

    Oh my, I HATE that.  Seriously.  It makes me judge a person immediately as uneducated if I hear that come out of his/her mouth.  I know I'm not perfect with my own grammar, but really that one irks me to no end.
    ... just another mommy blog ...

    Ditto! One of my older brothers says it all the time and it drives me crazy, especially because he got great grades in English and has a college degree!

    In my old neighbourhood that was common. Except they'd add "been" in front of it. Such as: "I been seen that on tv" Annoying. I'm trying to be less of a grammar snob, but it still irks me!

    That is way worse. That would put me over the edge.

    Maybe it's just that I hear this one so much with my current profession, but it just gets under my skin.

    Even more to the point I just got a call and the person said "I seen the ad in today's paper about that house yall selling". Gah!!!

    Oh that is so annoying!! I can not stand when people add an "s" to a word. Around here every store gets an "S" added to it!! "Best Buys" "Giants" "Targets"
