But there was already a perfectly good past participle form available, without having to invent a sloppy one. That literate people use this word doesn't change the fact that it is an accidental invention, by someone for whom English was a second language, which was subsequently perpetuated into commonality by illiterates. The sheer weight of compulsory public education should have eradicated this atrocity nearly a century ago.This is almost enough to put me off the game.I think you might be giving a little too much credit to public education.Only the weight of it.

Hat's off to Japan's goalie also. Sucks to have to go home based on that.

The Croatian goalie happened to guess correctly on the 3 shots he saved.

He claims you could watch their feet and there is a sure tell.I should note that he's generally full of shit.
