A quick little lesson on the use of the word "Seen"

Edited Date/Time 9/25/2013 3:40pm
Yes, it is moto related, because just about every other post in this forum starts with " I seen Josh Hill jump high" or Yeah, I seen how he hit that jump"

Past Participle: seen --
(used with have, has, is, was, will be, had been, etc.)
In the past, I have seen two dirt bikes in the sky at once.
Before we had seen ten minutes of the moto, the race was red flagged.
In this film, Tom Hanks is seen as a mad scientist who invents a formula
for invisibility.
Never ever say or write “I seen.”
Say, “I HAVE seen” or “I HAD seen.”

Pretty simple eh?

Thank You Smile I have also seen this problem and finally felt the need to have my frustration seen. Smile I also wanted to see if I could do something about this problem that doesn't seem to be seen or noticed by anyone.

I prefer to use the word ascertain(ed) when in the correct context. Really throws people off.

Easy now......you seem to be asking quite a bit from the "home schooled" generation.

And do not forget:

Like, stamp it, man. Bad grammar and spelling drive me insane. Getting worse as I grow older. The grammar Nazi, that's me.
Speaking of which, you do not "grow" a business. You expand it. Another one that drives me nuts , and you hear that on the radio or TV, in ads made by so called business people. Arrrrgh.

I could spell check on here all day, but lets be serious. It's just the ina net.

My girlfriend is a great girl, but she's bad about this stuff...

"will see" "makes since" "your welcome" and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others. I have to hold back from correcting her because it's not worth it and I don't wanna be a dick, but sometimes it's hard.

"you do not "grow" a business. You expand it."

Metaphor: 1. a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.

Please expand your knowledge of written text a little more Wink hehe

You don't have a girlfriend. Stop that crazy talk.
