It has become common among non-native and younger native English speakers to say things like:

  • "You are bias" instead of "You are biased"
  • "He is prejudice" instead of "He is prejudiced"

Among non-native speakers in some regions such as SIngapore and Malaysia a few others have become common.

  • "I was very shock" instead of "I was very shocked"

That's easily the most common one.
