The typo constantly catching my eye recently appear across the internet (tik toks, reddit, instagram, tumblr) is "casted."
I see it when folks are trying to say something cast them in a bad light, or they were "outcasted" and oh my god autocorrect just turned "cast" in this sentence into "casted."
Mystery solved?? I thought there was some language shift or maybe ESL commonality, but now I'm wondering if the rules programmed into autocorrect features are going to change our language without us even realizing it.
