Totally tangential, but does anybody else feel old when people use them simple past of "to run" as it's past participle?
It was still irregular even in American English when I last lived there.
Yeah, it's not grammatically correct AFAIK but it's a fairly common mistake to see.
As it's commonality increases, it's mistake status will dissolve. Such is the way 😌
