so just today,
I writed a story where I rided a bike. I rided the bike,and I writed about the bike,...that I rided.
I remember when a great American or a kid,...rode a bike and someone wrote about it.
Then rided my bike while others drived their cars.
then we dived into the lake.ALL THE COOL people were allowed to have rode their bikes to the lake and dove in.Me...? I have to rided and dived.Why can't I express what happened when it happened.
I drove my car,then rode to the lake,then I dove in.

Did I

rided or rode my bike?
Did I drived or or drove?


Did I writed or wrote?

I think it's from an episode of How I Met Your Mother. One of the characters didn't like that word, and for some reason had to sit through a play put on by another character, where the word moist was prominently featured.

The word "colonel" - it's like a crazy relative; everyone knows something's wrong but no one ever talks about it.

I'm not sure why there is such a crazy long word to describe something that is very small. I can barely pronounce it.
