Why does that sound like someone from another country wrote it?
good call Rob, "I seen ..." is sure enough hick talk but from upstate NY?
You looking for work? :)
Not so much hick talk. Unless it's Northern hick talk. I'm 69 years old and I've lived in a somewhat rural part of the south all my life except for my military service years. I'd never heard anyone misuse "seen" around here until people from the northern states started migrating down here for work and retirement. Now I'm starting to hear younger locals using it. And trust me when I say I notice it every time I hear it because it's one of my pet peeves.
69? Your young yet!
Isn't it a bit like white folk who now use y'all?
I'm English and went to a Baseball game in Texas and the Waitress said to me and my mate, Hi Y'all doin' hahah It was cute. She was fit as a butchers dog though.
Didn't the blacks get it from the southern whites?
Yeah it’s not local hick talk in North Carolina. Next they will be saying southerner’s say “yous guys”🤣
Lol. I moved to TX from near Canadian border and still get pegged whenever I say ‘you’s guys’ or ‘about’

I've heard it misused in WA, OR, ID and CA. The guilty are just folks who sat in the back of English class, doodling while the rest of us learned the English language. Lazy students or natural dumbshits . . . . A couple of my nephews do this, and they were the former.
I'm from the NYC area, seen being used like this is common in the urban areas, but I've also seen people from the rural areas around here say it, albeit with a drawl.
"I seen" is endemic upstate. It's like people have never heard the word "saw", except in reference to wood cutting.
From upstate, can confirm. I've also noticed a large increase in air traffic, especially helicopters, in the area. Used to be fairly rare but now I hear or see them multiple times a week.
Depends on age. Looks like a young'un. Depending on generation, even well-educated folks are saying "Ima " instead of "I'm going to."
Eminems fault!
We eat through syllables in the north. It's part of how we talk so fast.
I seen is now commonspeak
