  • Vext is present tense whereas vexed is supposed to be used in the past tense. I’m not an English major though, so 50/50 on whether that’s actually correct or not but that’s how I learned it.

    In short, the ed prefix notates past tense normally.

    It’s just that English spelling is really fucking weird because 1/3 of our words are German. 1/3 is French 1/6 is Greek and 1/8 is Latin. Also, we’re using the wrong alphabet to spell our works. This alphabet was made for the Romans who spoke Latin. The English people invented runes which much more accurately map to the words.

    I got curious so I googled it

    Words ending in /t/ or /d/: When a word ends in a /t/ or /d/ sound (like “start” or “need”), the “-ed” suffix is pronounced as /ɪd/, adding a new syllable to the word. For example, “started” is pronounced as “star-ted”. Words ending in other sounds: If the word ends in an unvoiced sound (like “talk” or “watch”), the “-ed” suffix is pronounced as /t/. If the word ends in a voiced sound (like “bother” or “explain”), the “-ed” suffix is pronounced as /d/. For example, “watched” is pronounced as “watcht”, and “explained” is pronounced as “explaind”.

    To be honest though, I remember learning far more when self-teaching and exploring than ever learning anything in lessons. Beyond the absolute basics of what each tool does and where to use it. I think it would be much more important to put an emphasis on that than an interface to tell somebody to click here and them not understand why they need to use that tool.

    Make sure to spend some quality time on extrude and chamfer.
