At least these are phrases that could be misheard. I'm growing too tired of seeing seeing "drug" instead of "dragged".

Is the past tense form of drag not dragged? Is "drug" some sort of conditional imperfect past tense I never learned about?! I feel like I'm going crazy because people are just dropping it into fics. I've never heard someone say this IRL. WTF. I'm reading a fic right now that's doing it!!! WHY???!!

Drug was taught as the past tense of drag in many regions of the US.
Drag dragged drug
Swing swang swung
Ring rang rung

And so forth.

Oddly, "rung" and "swung" and a few others I do recall learning, but for some reason not drag. I suppose I just never use them and in most books I've read I've never really seen it (or over looked it).

Thanks, didn't know about the regional distinction.

That one is actually dialect! Midwestern US, but it's dying out. I was always confused when I saw people say "a tad bit" thinking they were misusing the British term "a tad" but it was actually US dialect.

Huh! I had no clue, thanks!
