Past Tense Of Treat?

[mrk]

This thread excites me!

Treated, unless perhaps you are northern and like missing out letters...

It's southerners who miss out letters? they miss 'T' out of lots of words?

Compu'er
"eat it" becomes "ee euh"
and for 'thought' they say 'for' ?

Tret is completely wrong. Just because people say it doesnt make it right. It's as correct as 'innit' instead of 'isn't it'. I wonder if the two are related.

Hmm that sounds like all the northerners I've ever met. Next you'll be complaining about this weird word, "the", that southerners use!

they usually say "vuh" instead. Another 'T' missed

Tret does seem to be a northern word - wifes a geordie and she says it quite often.

I hope you slap her every time she says it.

Nope, that sounds like Northerners, or southern Chavs, not proper people from the south....

Probably along the lines of "I ain't got no compu'er!" Which makes me want to slap them for so many reasons.

I didn't realise a typo was classed as a grammatical error.....

your / you're is not a typo.

your is a determiner, you're is the contracted form of you are.

In what context? "The child is spoilt", "the food is spoiled". "I spelt it out for him" or "how is that spelled?"?

There is no difference at all between them. Both are corrrect.

This thread confuses me. I don't recall ever having heard anyone say tret or trat. As far as I'm concerned, the simple past and part participle are both "treated."

 

[semi-pro waster]

There is no difference at all between them. Both are corrrect.

Except that on occasion spelt reads better than spelled or spoilt vs spoiled. Sometimes in the case where two options may be technically correct one will be easier to read, that's why I asked for context.

There is no context though.
spelled is more common in AmE, and spelt in BrE and Australian English.

There's nothing more to it.
