I always use "cast" as the past tense and past participle of TO CAST (not casted, I cringe when I hear "He was casted as" or "I casted the net.") But what about words with cast in them, like broadcast? I see people write "broadcasted," and I even typed it into Microsoft Word and it was not corrected by spell check. It still sounds wrong to me, but is that common usage of the word?
The past tense of CAST and words with cast in them?
