What's an incredibly petty reason you would refuse to date someone, even if everything else about them was perfect?

If they use "I seen." I'm an English teacher, and I don't nitpick grammar otherwise, but that one is just too much.

Omg I'm an English teacher too and sometimes I have to consciously refrain from correcting my friends. One time one of them said "could of" in text and I almost lost it.

How do you feel about people saying "I've never went to"?

It makes me twitch! But I can overlook it easier than "I seen." If "could of" happened more than once in a text, I would have to correct it.

"On accident", hearing/seeing it is rage-inducing. I am not an English teacher, but still 😂

Whenever someone starts a sentence with 'I seen...', I can pretty much guarantee you the sentence won't end with 'the inside of a book.'
