Since nobody else seems to care, I'll just put this out here: "arited" is really rather weird. I would say "aritied" instead (pronounced "ari-teed", not "ari-tied").
Does anyone know of a parallel construction turning any word ending in "-ity" into a past participle?
- dgreensp 9y agoI would write “aritied.” The article also uses the word “simpliest,” and there are a few other language oddities.
- evincarofautumn 9y agoYeah, and their name on Github is in Russian (sorta like “toasty”, as in a small toast) so they’re probably just not a native English speaker. I would also write “aritied”, and that’s what I’ve been saying when talking about this article. Speaking of “simpliest” though, even as a native speaker I sometimes use “-lier” and “-liest”, but rather to form comparative & superlative adverbs, e.g. “He solved it quicklier than I did”.
