>> payed me

Should be "paid me". I see this so frequently on HN, is this how it is taught in school now?

Nope, just fat fingered that one while typing up my response. I'll keep you in mind if I need someone to check my posts for typos in the future though!

It was not meant to be personal, it was a serious, if off-topic, question. For example, check out this search:

Not everyone speaks English as a first language and “payed” is a completely reasonable assumption given how a bulk of words are conjugated.
