See Saw Seen

I was talking to my friend Mike last night, and he said the screamer that sends him through the roof is “I seen.” He’s got that right. This formation is ubiquitous. I guess it happens because see is an irregular verb. The parts of see are: see saw seen. So, if you use it in a sentence, it’s: I see I saw I have seen.

“I seen” is just plain wrong, so cut it out.

BTW, my friend has his own blog on LA history and ghosts of LA. If you’d like to see it, go to www.mimlay.com. It’s really quite impressive.
