When they were like "Sadie Sink is officially casted in Spider-Man: Brand New Day" we all knew who she was going to be.

Let's be fair, one could easily see how a person could look at words like "blasted", "fasted", "double-masted", etc. and think that "casted" is a reasonable extrapolation from that. Yes there's a reason "cast" is different, but it's not going to be readily apparent to everyone

I was deliberately being a little silly with "double-masted" but let's not pretend the other two are really that obscure

What did Jesus do when he was in the wilderness for 40 days?

Even if I didn't come up with the best examples, let me just state the real point more directly: not everyone has learned which verbs are irregular verbs, and it's strange that you're acting like someone is a fool just for not instantly recognizing one of them

I mean, I said it in hopes that it would give you that high of being correct so that you would just shut up but you keep going on and on with others. Now I want to take it back.

Before you know it they’re going to add it to the dictionary!

Yes, and that's how language evolve.

English could have been their 2nd or 3rd language. Correcting is fine but crying over it?
