Irregular Verbs that should be

[Wiglaf]

The English language has many irregular verbs. However, some that should exist aren't there. This is where we can recommend additions.

For example

bring / brang / brung - they had it in Old English dagnabbit
swell / swole / swollen - Middle English
fling / flang / flung - it just sounds right

And words ending in a t sound should be spelled (or spelt) with a t not an ed. The Brits get to; why can't I?

Anyone got any more?

[Ursa major]

What about:

cling / clang / clung
dig / dag / dug
sit / sat / sut
split / splat / splut

[Rodders]

LOL. Ursa Major my friend Kirk used to say "Sut" when we were young.

I think it was in the book Made in America that Bill Bryson explains why you Americans talk and spell like you do. IIRC it's something to do with our language evolving in a slightly different direction since about the reign of Queen Anne
