Seriously, if I hear one more person say “I seen that” I will surely flip my lid. I mean I’m not a total grammar snob because I make mistakes too, and honestly there are just some things I don’t care about (like commas and run-on sentences, for instance), but that’s one of the basics in my opinion. Wouldn’t you agree?

The sad thing is that I last heard it coming from the lips of an IRS auditor. I didn’t think it was possible, but my confidence in the Internal Revenue Service has reached a new low.
