I can't believe it's already been a year since Ashes Swept was released! To celebrate, I'm offering the e-book for free on Amazon (where available) all day today, September 29th! ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• As a ministerial daughter, Synda May Ivey has a duty to her family and to all of Floridian—but she has no interest in galas, garden parties, and high-tech society life. With everything in disarray after her father's death, marriage to her aristocratic childhood friend is the last thing she wants. After escaping to a world of simplicity in the low-tech tractlands, life couldn't be more perfect. Silver Glen is everything she'd hoped for, and Wilken Kirby might help her forget about the noble Everton Greer. But with her overbearing stepfamily in pursuit and her true identity cloaked in deception, her two worlds may not stay separate for long. Having seen her nation through different eyes, she may find it difficult to choose freedom and love over duty.

Here's a grammar nerd question... lately I've been noticing people leaving the "ed" off past-tense and past participle words. Here are some examples: I'm so excite to go to the zoo! You'd be surprise how it happens. I drank a glass of water so now I feel refresh. Brad is psyche about his new job. The truck was weigh down with junk.
As far as I can tell, it's not a regional, cultural, or age-specific trend. Though so far it's been American women in the 20s to 30s range.
So, what IS this?! I'm so curious. Is it a side effect of phone typing? An evolution of grammar? A trend being popularized by a particular celebrity? A sign of public education fail? General confusion?
Has anyone else noticed this? What are your thoughts?
