It was bad enough when I'd hear it in bars or crowds. Now I have to read the following abominations in web essays and blogs:

"I have went,"
"they have ran,"

and the antipodal, "I seen a movie."

Oddly enough, there doesn't seem to even be a connection with these constructions and the education levels of the dimwits using them. I know bartenders and waitresses who would never speak this sloppily. I know engineers and accountants who do.

The participle's time, indeed, is past.
