pterodactyl commented on the word maken
One of my coworkers used this word a few days ago, as a past participle of "make". It's a perfectly reasonable construction, I think -- it fits the pattern established by taken and shaken -- but still, I was quite surprised to hear it, especially from a person with a very "professional" dialect.
Has anyone else heard this word before?
