Hey all.

I don't understand (but I don't necessarily object to) the use of

"stoled." The -ed seems redundant. One already has the past in "stole."

Why add the same sense again with "-ed?" This is about as comprehensible to

my East Coast sensiblities as "roded"would be for the past tense of "ride."

. (An aside: I'm from near Baltimore, MD. Having a large number of American

dialects is a beautiful thing. That doesn't make the Baltimore accent any

less ugly.) I suppose it makes sense if one drops the L. BTW, "l-vocalizer."

seems to be used in two different senses. Which is correct?

I first encountered a problem with this word earlier in the year

when I tried to spell it and realized, looking at it, that it was not a

word. I continue

to use it, however. I like it.
