Please state in which country your phrase tends to be used, what the phrase is, and what it should be.
Example:
In America, recently came across “back-petal”, instead of back-pedal. Also, still hearing “for all intensive purposes” instead of “for all intents and purposes”.
“Seen”.
Holy fuck, “seen”.
I honestly think that using this word incorrectly has gotten worse over the last few years. Hearing someone say, “yeah, I seen her yesterday” just makes me want to punch the wall.
I kind of like it that way.
“Yeah I seen her” has a very different meaning than “Yeah I saw her”.
I guess people forget that it needs a “helping verb”. Just having “have seen” in that sentence would fix it.
I saw her. That is to say I seen her.
