ErrantDShepherd Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 actually this comment on stack exchange gives some pretty okay insightThat is very interesting... I have watched a few Globe Theatre productions and was finding myself wondering why sometimes "ed" was distinctly pronounced. Or... "Pronounce"" ed?"I mean I didn't know that specifically but it's not exactly a big secret that you're a theatre personI don't think anyone is feeling bad about not knowing that? *feels bad?* Cool. Parr, have you done any other Shakespearean productions, or any other productions? ...do you normally get a certain type of role, or do you do a variety? *would enjoy doing an actual Shakespearean production, based on how much he has enjoyed his Shakespeare class* The 'd shows up a ton in ancient English writings... But tbh haven't really seen it used much online except when people are doing faux 1337 or h@x speech... Like "pwn'd" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentacotus Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Well maybe I dun't take to kindly to you not takin kindly about using apostrophes...ever think about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I occasionally say it if it's some sort of awkward acronym verb or something that can't really be -ed'd well (that's an example, right there, when I verbed -ed) huggy'd That's why I do it. Awkward stuff. :| And because at that moment I can't think of a better way of wording the sentence to NOT do it. I also do the apostrophe thing for pluralizing awkward words... FOR SHAME.

Original Alear Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Wait. Let me try and get this straight, cuz I'm not sure if I understand. The problem isn't using apostrophes in the past tense of verbs, right? Like, the word didn't is ok, even though did is a past tense verb. The problem you guys seem to be talking about is using apostrophes to make a very past tense...right? Sorry if this was already articulated.

Freohr Datia Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hmmmmm well what he doesn't like is taking a past tense verb in its past tense form and then just tossing in an apostrophe that doesn't belong? Sorry if this was already articulate'd. I'm talking about I literally saw someone say 'Blitzkrieg'ed' in another thread stuff like ^ is what he has a problem with~!
