Would the past tense of Gravedig be Gravedug?

If not, it should be. *nod*

Why would you need the past tense? You're talking about a current action.

If you were talking about a gravedig that happened, say, six months ago, then you might be able to say "so and so gravedug that thread," I suppose.

Yeah, I know. I was trying to think of a more interesting title than 'Gravdigging', and that popped into my head. It appears to have dropped off the page, so n/m.

Well, it's back now. It seems the poster in question is determined to answer questions from a previous incarnation. It's gravedigging of the "you'll be waiting a long time for a reply, that poster left" kind.

Picks up again for the day here:
