Seen vs. Saw

Lauren

Is it just me or does it drive anyone else crazy when they read a post and ‘seen’ is being used incorrectly? It drives me mad! 😂 And it seems that an alarmingly large amount of people on this app don’t know the correct use of ‘seen’ vs ‘saw’. I can’t count how many times I’ve read a post with the following:

“I seen pictures on his phone”

“I seen Ashley walk away”

JUST NO! 😂 This is correct:

“I saw pictures on his phone”

“I saw Ashley walk away”

If you’d really like to use ‘seen’, here’s a few examples of it being used correctly:

“I’ve seen pictures on his phone”

“I’ve seen Ashley around town”

“I haven’t seen that movie yet”

I understand a few spelling mistakes or grammatical errors, but wow... there’s nothing more uneducated sounding than someone saying “I seen it with my own eyes!” 😂 I can’t be the only one with this pet peeve, anyone else!?
