What about similar oddities in English?
(This question is inspired by this comic by https://www.exocomics.com/193/ (link found by BunScientist@lemmy.zip))
Edit: it's to its in the title. Damn autocorrect.
We should be consistent and say "readed". While we're on the subject, why isn't the past tense of go "goed"?
We should be consistent and say “readed”.
But you should still pronounce it redded.
But then it would get confused with "redead" which could be detrimental when dealing with necromancers.
what if we just change the past tense to red? simpler?
People already struggle with 'led' being the past tense of "lead". It seems like quite a few people extend the "read/read" rule to "lead".
In other words, I don't know if that would actually solve anything 😅
its, not it's.
Rob Words youtube channel is basically wtf english. And he has tons of content, and it keeps comming.
Put: "hold my beer"
