"I seen"

I had a COLLEGE GRADUATE!!! co-worker who constantly used that grammatical monstrosity. I brought him up on it one day at work, and he argued that he was right to use it. I couldn't talk him out of the usage.

Yeah, try it with someone who says "supposably" sometime. "Supposably" is a word, but almost always used incorrectly when the speaker means to say "supposedly".
