When someone says "I seen".
No, you saw. Or you have seen.
It's like nails on a chalkboard to me.
what gets me is when people interpret the use of different english dialects as a negative reflection on their character. demanding strict adherance to prescriptivist standards of grammar seem to me to be a sign of poor education.
Ya that's not a sign uneducated imo. Infact, formal education has very little to do with how "educated" one is ime.
I didn't go to college. And most of my "peers" didn't either. But I wouldn't consider myself uneducated in the least.
Many of my peers use this term, and while "uneducated", many are far from dumb.
I'd consider it more of a dialect atp.
But I guess your right in that there is a higher chance they are kind of uneducated, but i think how you portray it comes off as pearl clutching, and sort of mean.
