I agree with JeepnMike that "I seen" is a deep south thing. However, "y'all" is a southern thing as well but somehow you don't sound like an uneducated hick saying "y'all", unlike "I seen".
one of my buddies from around here started saying "y'all"... drives me fuckin' nuts

My in-laws are from New Jersey and they say "youse guys", which makes "y'all" sound quite elegant.

No offense, Camp332 bro.

This is one one that I have never heard used correctly here.

"Godspeed" is not RIP.

Godspeed is something to say to a rider on the gate. It is often said to astronauts before launch.

Godspeed [ˈgɒdˈspiːd]
interj & n
an expression of one's good wishes for a person's success and safety
[from God spede may God prosper (you)]

Doesn't the apostrophe show ownership or a contraction? I thought it would be yous guys because "you's guys" indicates that the guys belong to someone and "you is guys" doesn't make sense either.

My girlfriend is a great girl, but she's bad about this stuff...

"will see" "makes since" "your welcome" and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others. I have to hold back from correcting her because it's not worth it and I don't wanna be a dick, but sometimes it's hard.

You don't have a girlfriend. Stop that crazy talk.
Haha you got me.

She'll throw around "of" instead of "have" like someone else mentioned also. "We should of gone camping more this summer." "First of all, it's 'have', second of all, why didn't you say so during summer?!"

I scene this quote somewheres and it gave me a laugh:

Grammar: The difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.
