The one that really drives me crazy is “I seen that” instead of “I’ve seen that” or “I saw that”. My best friend uses it all the time and it takes everything in me not to correct her.

I think there must be a Brit etymology to the bare naked “seen” without its “have” - lots of Brits, Aussies and Irish use it who seldom make other grammar faux pas which are that egregious.
