   My name is not Manhaut its Mahaut. I cant to change my name because I'm not the administrator. I hate it when the computer automatically changes my name to something thats in the English dictionary like Manhunt, I don't know if Manhaut is a word but maybe thats what happened. I heard about a dad who sent his daughter a message that said "Were just getting Disney Stuff" because he was asking her what things they were getting for their cousin’s birthday, and it got accidentally turned into "Were just getting Divorce stuff" because Disney is not a word in the dictionary.

“Really! I seen it!” You didn’t seen anything. That makes no sense. This is one of many grammar errors that I hear on a daily basis. For most of us, English is our first language, so let’s speak it!

“There are approximately 200 irregular verbs in the English language."
(Troyka, 2002)

These verbs form the past and past participle (have + verb) tenses differently from the present. These irregularities can be a nagging source of confusion for many writers and speakers of English.” I agree, www.grammarerrors.com

The correct usage would be, “Really! I have seen it!” I know that sounds a little weird, but it’s correct, so use it. Thank you!
