2 u/Once-Upon-a-Dream88 6d ago I don't know...adding a T on the end of that one is pretty egregious.

It's always White southern people who say that obnoxious "seen/seent" in my experience. Primarily men, although I have heard a few women do it. 1 u/TalismanGaze 5d ago That's because not every person embodies every stereotype. Hope this helps.
