Paid Members Ronnie Posted October 12, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 12, 2012 The one that actually bothers me is dove, purely because it's gained currency. Â English has two main ways of forming its past tenses depending on the verb category. The so-called strong verbs see a mutation in their stem, so from the strong verb 'sing' we get 'sang' (and past participle 'sung'), from 'come' we derive 'came' and so on. Â The most common way (and what we apply to newly coined verbs that don't contain an element of a strong verb) is to add -ed (pronounced sometimes as a 't' depending on the sound preceding it, or as an extra syllable if the verb already ends with a 't' or 'd'). 'Want' -> 'wanted', 'play' -> 'played', and if we were to create a new verb 'to iPod' we'd have 'iPodded'. Â It's sometimes the case that a strong verb (so irregular) regularises over time - what was once 'dreamt' is now accepted as also 'dreamed', 'learnt' as 'learned'. The opposite, though, very rarely happens. The only one that's coming to my head as I type is 'hang', which was originally a weak verb ('hanged') but changed about 400 years ago to 'hung'. (Bonus trivia point: The reason that people get caught up on whether it's right to say 'He was hanged at Tyburn' is because the form for 'hang' was always 'hanged'. Legal jargon doesn't follow trends and so the old form 'hanged' endured, whilst bit by bit 'hung' encroached among the general populace, to the point that it is now considered the normal form.) Â Anyway, this interlude gets back to why I hate 'dove'. 'Dive' is a weak verb and its past form is 'dived'. However, people along the US-Canada border started treating is as a strong verb and now use 'dove' as their only choice, and because we hear them use it via the media and tend naturally to think that the -ed form is an error if we know of a vowel-change form then many of us (including me when I let my guard down) are absorbing it too and correcting what we would naturally say. Bollocks to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Ronnie Posted October 12, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 12, 2012 Oh, I forgot another one. I sometimes make the mistake of downloading a wrestling podcast if it generates interest on other forums. Usually the people hosting it have Deep South *hyuk hyuk* accents so thick that I can't help but think they're putting them on and take half make my mind up to drop it by the end of the first twenty seconds. The second I hear 'drug' used as the past form of 'drag' the mind is made up and that thing is switched off.I think I'd end up an apoplectic mess if I were in your company for more than a couple of minutes, Richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Eddie Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I remember at school once a teacher asked a student whether he had brought his homework in. His reply was. Â "I ain't branged it." Â Fucking branged!? I was speechless even at age 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted October 12, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 12, 2012 Already covered in the words that don't sit well with you, where I nominated 'jumped', but I think jamp should be a word. I didn't run up their stairs, I ran. Therefore had I taken a jump instead, I think I would've jamp rather than jumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
