another ONLY IN WEST VIRGINIA

just to be clear, most people around here never "saw" anything.

they dont say ...
"I saw you put up the tools"
"i saw you at the store"

no, insert the word "seen" for "Saw" above.

now .. having said this , what would you figure could be the past tense for "Seen".
Just what does a man do when he needs to express something that happened in the past? something tells him he has to say it differntly.

Problem solved...............


Today i call my specialty auto parts supplier for my oil pump pick up tube. 
me-  "this is scott cassity and i am checking on a part i ordered a couple of days ago, it should be an oil pick up strainer"................suddenly Interrupted by the store guy on the phone and he siad...

"I seened it come in"

i said what

he said ... "I seened it come in" :hick:

Bell and Harlan county coal camps here and I know what you mean.  That's why we moved to Nashville but the mountains are still home to me.

I thought certain you were gonna say he "seeed it"! I had a business partner for many years from Hazard, and my family is from southern WV so I have "heared" it all!  :)
