I see what you mean. I just read on a subforum about Duchess Kate's pregnancy, "Congrats, them." It does sound ridiculous.
To those of us in The US, it does sound...odd.
However, based on my viewing of BBC America, it seems that this type of talk is quite common--and accepted--in The UK.
Good Morning America reported that John McAfee was taken to a hospital this morning with heart problems, and they showed a picture of him being wheeled "prone on his back" on a gurney.
(Prone is not redundant, it's the wrong word.)

Reason: speaking of redundant (those who saw it will get it)

The news reader probably couldn't pronounce, "supine", so he substituted another word, whether it was correct or not!
Unless you have been shot in the ass that is the only way to travel on a gurney. In fact the entire phrase could have been left out of the description.

It was on TV and they were describing what was happening in a photograph, something like, "Here you can see Mr. McAfee being taken prone on his back to the hospital."
This has probably been covered multiple times in this thread, but I simply couldn't read 162 pages worth of posts. (I usually try to do my fellow posters the courtesy of reading all posts in a thread before responding.)
At any rate, If I hear or see written, "I seen" one more time my head is going to explode.

I'm not sure anyone said that yet, but even if they did, it's worth one more head smack.
A woman at work was telling us that a man she knew was cheating because he was out with another woman. She said, "I seened him!"
