It does concern me how the English language is being butchered

This will probably sound pedantic, but here goes

"i was sat outside"

should be

"i was sitting outside"

Just a general comment that lots of people seem to use "sat" instead of
"sitting" these days


According to my Longman's dictionary. To say "i was sat outside" is
correct, as "sat" is the past participle of sit, and is a verb. While
"sitting" is a noun where is it use to describe a period when you are
sitting in a chair"

E.g I sat down and read the whole book in one sitting.

Though of course the English language is a flexible language, and people
of different dialects, use the language in slightly different ways. As
long as what you say, is broadly understood, then IMHO I cannot see
where the problem is.
