I Love the English Language

Has the present participle disappeared from use in America/Oz/NZ/Canada?

Are people ever 'sitting' anymore or are they always 'sat'?

Would you say:

I'm sat here. / I'm sitting here.

I've never heard anyone say "I'm sat here". (I'm American)

@DDonde It's rife in the UK. 😞

@SW-User guess the UK is no longer the crown of English usage
