I don't know where the ending of words in -T stemsT from, but it's ubiquitous on ATRL. While on my campaign to eradicate the gluttonous letter W from our alphabet, I came across the following on Wikipedia:
"It was also once common to use -t for the ending -ed where it is pronounced as such (for example dropt for dropped).Some of the English language's most celebrated writers and poets have used these spellings and others proposed by today's spelling reformers. Edmund Spenser, for example, used spellings such as rize, wize and advize in his famous poem The Faerie Queene, published in the 1590s.[28]
Are the good sistren of ATRL always setting the sistrends (trends) in our language? Has English returnT to ha unconditioned roots? Will English adopt some our easier spellings and idiosyncrasies. If so, which ones?
