present + past = new english mongrel

The English LOVE to ruin their language. One of their latest abominations is using past and present verbs in the same sentence, because “everyones doing and sounds so cool”.

For example:

“I am sat here next to Ashley”
and
“I was stood up at the concert next to John”

I dislike this much.
