English verbs have historically had present form, past form, and past participle form, eg. go / went / gone. I'm sad to see the past participle form being phased out of American English. People I went to school with and who I'm sure were taught differently (not to mention innumerable podcasters and public radio personalities), now say things like: "By the time I got home I found he'd already went," eliminating the past participle and instead using the past form. Had saw is not uncommon either. I am old enough I refuse to incorporate this development in the language. If I ever encounter had was/were in the wild I might blow a gasket. Now entering my fuddy-duddy years :(

Okay I believe you and all, but I genuinely don’t understand. My partner has even criticized this in my language but I don’t get it.

Sincerely someone who wants to understand and was unfortunately homeschooled by dumb fucks

Single-speed bicycles suck.
They combine the drawbacks of a geared bike with the drawbacks of a fixed gear bike.

Anyone who puts always-on blue LEDs in electronics deserve the oubliette. People who put such LEDs in electronics meant for the bedroom deserve an oubliette that'a slowly filling with water.

Or just excessively bright LEDs. Just because LEDs are super efficient, doesn't mean they should take them as bright as they can go.
