"Casted out" ๐
I've heard news casters say "casted" like it's an actual word!
I guess, though, since English is devolved slowly by popularity, itself driven by vapid influencers trying to make 'fetch' happen, this is bound to occur too. And it's completely valid, they say: English linguists just bobble their head and smile.
That's so fetch
And you're streets ahead.
English is dumb though, how can the past and present tense of a verb share the same word? I'm on team "casted" here.
