just double-checked myself. "struck" is the simple past form and "stricken" is the past participle, but now "struck" is also acceptable as the past participle form.

in other words ... yeah. but i'm a snob.

I thought it was stricken.......too bad I left out a "c". Does this mean that I don't get a gold star?

K, cause I double-checked also. I study ****ing English, I should know these things...

Most of the time the past participle of “strike” is “struck.” The exceptions are that you can be stricken with guilt, a misfortune, a wound or a disease; and a passage in a document can be stricken out. The rest of the time, stick with “struck.”

You send a private message. Or do the comments/convos only exist in public post? The beauty of the private messaging system is you can write whatever you want amongst eachother as often as you'd like. I have had many a 3 and 4-way convos in this fashion.
