  • A very rare word. In America people usually use dreamed.

  • I actually prefer this use and exercise it in regular conversation. It's just more classical and, well, dreamy, like something out of a Rococo fantasyland. Sounds better too. Dreamed sounds to me like a product of the Industrial Revolution, more concerned with American practicality than poetic worth. It's highly modern, and highly sterile.

    Hopefully by now anyone who noticed me defending American practicality on madandcrazychild's list will realize I did so tongue-in-cheek. I love gems like this. I also say Oxford comma, but don't tell anyone. ;-)
