Re: Pet peeves!

Right, okay, “to give” in the past tense.

But “gifted” is much more specific than that, in a way that seems useful. Do you find it redundant? Or just dislike the way it sounds? Or something else?

Does it matter to you whether it’s used for an actual gift-giving person (e.g. “he gifted the book to his best friend”) or it’s used in the more passive sense (“she was gifted with an impeccable sense of rhythm”)?

Hm, good question. Passive is OK, though it seems a roundabout way of saying "she had an impeccable sense of rhythm." Otherwise, "who gave it to her" is the question I'd be asking.

Yeah, I wouldn't consider "gave" and "gifted" to always be interchangeable at all. You can give things to people that aren't gifts - "I gave him the data he needed to finish the report" versus "I gifted her the stuffed tiger I won from the carnival game." They're both giving, just with very different connotations.
