I don’t wanna sound like an idiot, but I have to say it. It’s “sped” not “speeded” right? If so 0/10 Reuters. If not 0/10 me

It should have been “sped”. To hell with these 21st-century, let’s throw out all the grammar rules, ideals.

The past tense of “speed” is “sped”. 😡

I'll personally accept:

  • spad

  • spoad

  • spet

  • spoat

  • spoatted

Or just sidestep the issue entirely and use "accelerated", like they do in the article.
