No, you didn't "seen" anything. You saw. Or you are seeing. Nobody "seens" anything.

I was almost an English major in college, so simple grammar mistakes are one of my biggest pet peeves. It is easily the most annoying thing on message boards. Usually if a post has multiple mistakes I don't finish reading it.

I agree. As long as I can understand what someone is trying to say, I don't have a problem with anyone's grammar.

I think I say "should of," (Is that correct with the comma inside the quotes? It looks weird to me.) When I mean "should have". I think I would type "should have" but I'm not 100% positive.
