I noticed myself doing this in speech! I feel like "cost" is a neutral statement of how much something, well, cost. "Costed" is heavier. It's the price you paid and perhaps that price was a bit of a burden. "It costed me $200 and a pound of sweat."

To a born and raised Texan with living memories spanning from Ann Richards to legalization of bounty hunting abortion providers, Canada is simply full of quotidian wonders to explore.

Unfortunately the county was asking the state (me) for funds I had influence in distributing. Not allowed to accept lunch! I did it anyway! The tacos were so good!!

Michigan is so strange because parts of it feel so idyllic and/or richly cultured and in other parts you're getting yelled at in a parking lot for, like, eating a French fry the wrong way.

Took a friend surfing for the first time and I loved every minute of teaching him, watching him learn, celebrating victories. I would love to be a surf coach.

There's a similar problem in surfing. If you are in the water between the shore and where the waves are breaking, are you:
1) on the outside
2) on the inside
It's one way in Spanish and the opposite in English.

Obviously not the point, but I wonder how powerful and effective I would be as a person if I had the power of Ted Cruz's assistants and staff. This day of begging horrible people for money to support a horrible person is very well organized.
