If someone is singing badly we always say they’re flat, but at least some of the time (to my ear) they are actually singing sharp.
Why do we always say someone is singing flat, is it just convenient or is there a music theory reason for it?

“We” don’t always say someone is singing flat. Maybe you or people around you do, but the convention is to use words for what they actually mean. If someone is flat, say they’re flat. If someone is sharp, say they’re sharp. It’s entirely possible the people always saying flat just don’t know what they’re hearing.
