You just typed one which irks me, and I believe you did it on purpose, the overuse of "like". Unless you are saying that house is similar to the biggest one you've seen, you don't need to say it. It seems to be a connecting word for the Millennial Generation. "I, like, went to the the movie and I like, got a large popcorn, and the chic like, asked, if like, I wanted butter?"

The one which drives me absolutely mental though is "seen".

"I seen that movie last week."

No, no, no! "I saw that movie last week" or "I have seen that movie before" is correct. The incorrect use of seen immediately makes the speaker seem stupid.
