When they grow up, if enough of them still say "lended", it will be put into the dictionary.

That one I understand. It was an exception anyway; lended is more straightforward. Like 'builded' vs 'built'. The sign on our old 1800-era edifice says "Builded 1838" so I guess they used to use that (or at least write it that way)
Indeed. Language evolves, or we'd all be speaking PIE. Just sounds funny to my fossilised ear.
Lended is also an Americanism.
Idiocracy.
