Speaking and words are about communication, conveying a thought.

What does it matter if I say “on god” instead of “I agree”? Do you not still fully understand the thought I’m trying to convey?

See what I did right there? Grammar don’t matter.
Also in terms of speaking style should always be taken over grammatically correct. Cacs do opposite it’s why they sound bland and lame.

The past tense of see is saw, correct? Seen is only used when “have” is present, correct?

For instance:

I saw the movie. I saw someone.


Whenever I hear someone say, “I seen something,” it annoys the hell out of me.

Did I already do this thread, or does this bother me THAT much?



As someone who loves the English language and grammar in general, once you realize most people do not, you'll be okay. The lack of apostrophes for a possession, should of instead should've, their, there & they're and women vs woman are just a few that baffle me.

It's saw but seen is a colloquialism. Respect Black colloquialisms. The purpose of communication is to convey a message you can understand not for your bytch ass to grade a conversation in your head to assess someone's perceived intellect.

When you hear seent? just nod your head and stfu.

Cacs.

The older I get, the less I give a fukk about grammar. I used to care about it when I was younger cause it was an easy way to shyt on someone but now I look at it as some pretentious fakkit shyt. If I can understand what you’re trying to say, I don’t give a fukk

They are speaking AAVE, African-American Vernacular English. Helpings verbs such as "have" aren't needed to complete the sentence.

The lack of conjunctions annoys me too. But I don’t correct people, because they get mad.

Lol, I’m this way with “eaten” and “ate”. When I hear someone say “have you ate you?”, I’m out. And I’m in the South, so I hear it more than you think. But yes, I’ve sawn this thred be4.
