    When someone says “I seen”.

    No, you saw. Or you have seen.

    It’s like nails on a chalkboard to me.

      Ya that’s not a sign uneducated imo. Infact, formal education has very little to do with how “educated” one is.

      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.
