The usage of shined for the past tense of shine has been peeking its head out of many books and articles for over a year now. I always thought the past tense was shone. Have I been wrong all these years or is this 'shined' one of the pretentious 'new' ways of saying things? 017 |

How about dragged and drugged? I hear people on t.v. all the time say that they drugged the dog's body across the yard. I thought it was dragged! And, what about conversating? Rather than having a conversation. It kills me hearing this. |

HOW DID I GET THAT FAUCET INTO THIS THREAD???"" By clicking on the wrong topic title, sometimes the screen moves that wee bit before we click. That's my story and I'm sticking to it like velcro. |

I'm glad that faucet got into this topic, as it gave me, my chuckle for the day! |

If you are seeing this in books that you are reading, see where the book is from. Maybe that country is trying to get rid of shone. It wouldn't be the first time. shined sounds like a little kid just learning their words. |
