Non english speaker here. One use which I’ve encountered recently and seems off to me, is when people say something like: I’ve apples in my bag. Is this correct? I’ve grown up using ‘ve only for shortening the past perfect (or whatever verb form is that, excuse my grammar, school was a long time ago)

[Hemospectrum]

It's a regional thing. Common in Britain, but sounds strange to Americans, and looks even stranger in writing.

Not sure about other parts of the anglosphere.

Where? Reads UK english to me, I’ve never heard that in the US.

I googled and the internet seems to agree with me.
