      Fun fact, costed is a word but has a slightly different meaning than the way you have used it.

      Costed means to get the details on the cost of something complex. Like “I costed the three projects and the last one is cheapest”

      You tried to use it as the past tense of cost, but the past tense of cost is also just cost.

          Yeah; as a native and fairly well-educated speaker, I’m fucked if I can form the past participles of some of our verbs

          If I swim across a river, is it now the swimmed river? Swum river? Swam river?

          If I sneak into a room, have I sneaked? Snuck? Both sound wrong.

          Didn’t find anything ambiguous about ‘costed’, it works for me.

            If you swim across a river, it is now a river you’ve swum. If you sneak into a room, you have snuck in.

            Those are correct but they look and sound wrong.

          I am Canadian, and I was taught Cost as past tense in school and university. I’ve never seen it written Costed for past tense in any government publication either.

    So not only was it hateful, but it was wasteful, too. Good job, Utah.

          First thing that comes to mind is republicans want government to be wasteful and useless. So they do shit like this, then blame government and regulations, then push for smaller government and ignore their own role in fucking things up.

          Also, they’re giving jobs to bigots, which they love.

          I’m sure there’s many other reasons.

    I suppose decades of misandric conditioning would create the opinion that all men, trans or not, are sexual predators and closet perverts. This needs to change.

    As a straight guy, I have just walked into the wrong bathroom or chaises a kid into the wrong bathroom more times than I want to admit.
