I will wager 1 million that this is the most prominent grammatical infelicity this season. For hardly would you hear 2 people converse about politics in English now without both using the word "CAST", albeit, wrongly. The word CAST is an irregular verb, hence defies the normal conjugation rules. Thus: It is wrong to say "Have you CAST ED your vote ?" It should read "Have you CAST your vote ?" See the screenshot attached below: Cheers! 2 Likes

The second one is ACCREDIT Some often wrongly say "ACCREDITATE." And the past tense is ACCREDITED, not ACCREDITATED. Feel free to add corrections, if any as I am not immune to solecism! Thanks! 1 Like |
