"I seen Joe yesterday."
Perfectly good Hiberno-English, that. Not my own dialect, which favours /saw/, as does the standard.

Seems to be quite common in my area\ anyway. Dunno if such bad grammer is exclusive to Ireland/NI though.

Best example I know of good Hiberno-English v poor standard english is "do be/does be" as in "he does be at that every day" when all you really need to say is "he does that every day" or "I do be at my mum's every week" when the *correct* way to say it would be "I visit/go to my mum's every week"
Love the orange segment story
