I use two spellings of paid. Payed for past tense preterite and paid for past tense participle. He payed his dues. His dues are paid / Have his dues been paid? I swear by ain’t being a real word. I invent my own contractions that make sense most of the time. (Tam for I am is one that does not). I make my own idioms. (“I’m spinning” = I’m going crazy).
