Nice. And I'm not normally the guy who does thus online, but this one is one of my biggest pet peeves...there is no such word as 'casted'. The past tense of cast, is cast.

Can you explain either:

  • what it is that makes you the authority on English words

Or

  • this: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/casted

?

Doesn't this support my point?

Actually it supports both. The word casted is technically correct circa the 14th century. It is starting to come back, but the common usage is cast. So you're right on a technicality, and I'm correct on common usage. But you know what, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. You do you.
