I have plenty of grammar nits constantly picked, but today I heard, "I seen..." from an educated man. *cringe* Is that regional or just a product of a sucky school system? I've heard it from several otherwise intelligent adults from the upper Midwest (Minnesota to Illinois).
Not that I'm the type of curmudgeon who would note these things.
BS & D
Drinking wine and thinking bliss is on the other side of this.

Two people I've been close to said "I seen". <shudder>
Weirdly enough, they were both from Oklahoma.
I have no idea whether or not it was a regional thing.
I've never heard 'I seen' from the 'upper midwest'.
