Where I grew up in Western Pennsylvania, "I seen" is a very common speech error which simply results from the language people are raised with. If I discounted everything I heard simply because the speaker started with, "I seen," I would have had to ignore the lessons I learned from a lot of old WWII vets, coal miners, steel workers and a lot of otherwise very intelligent, if undereducated people. Unfortunately the rest of our nation is not like Texas, where no doubt, every person speaks perfect English.
LOL! Trust me ... not everybody speaks perfect English in Texas. And Texas English is exactly what I based my comment on. Perhaps you learned a lot from the folks up in your neck o' da woods, but I can't say the same for the "I seens" in these parts.
I heared that! You go, Joe!
