DIY qn: "he clad(ded)", "he has clad(ded)"?

Nor me, and I lived there for more than 30 years. They are used to mashing language, but I do nit know that one.

Dubya would say 'cladified' or 'cladualized'.

Cladificated surely? ;-)

Branching off from this thread, I have always maintained that something heated in a 'microwave' should be described as 'microwoven'.

It's not a *microweave* oven though, is it?

Just a typo. I think Brian simply missed the 'e' at the end. 'Destinate' is definitely one of those US-invented words. [Actually, it's arguably quite useful, and not overly offensive.]

No - this is not so. Those verbs are all irregular, Many verbs ending in 'd' conjugate regularly:

Compare with BID and WED:

BUD, NOD, BED, LID, KID, PAD, ROD, WAD

The flower budded. He nodded. She bedded him. It's tightly lidded. They kidded us. I padded to the door. He rodded the drains. He wadded it up

Compare with FEED:

HEED, SEED

They heeded the warning. They seeded the field.

Compare with HIDE:

ELIDE, GLIDE, SIDE

The two sounds elided. The dart glided past. We sided with them.

Are you a native speaker of British English? If so, to judge from this thread, both forms seem to be in use, with clad / clad / clad being more common than clad / cladded / cladded.

That would be an interesting case of suppletion, given that "woven" comes from "weave" not from "wave".

True, but it sounds better than 'microwaved'. Images of tiny hands oscillating in the corner of the machine.

Klystirred?

Magnetroded

Would americans have their houses sided though ?. Doesn't sound right, to have sidings applied.

Half cooked

This is what is underneath the aluminium siding (Tyvek plastic wrap over particleboard).
