Asked on March 19, 2021 in Word choice.
The past participles (and past tenses) “speeded” and “sped” are used in different grammatical situations. When “Speed” is intransitive verb, the past tense is almost always “sped”. When speed is a transitive verb, the past tense is usually “Speeded” (although “sped” is being increasingly used in this situation).
Google ngram for “speeded down the road” Is fast always’sped’? So much so. Compare Google Ngram’s search “speeded the movement ” and “Speeded/sped the change of device” in ngram. He’s generally “speeded” although “sped” is now becoming more common

Asked on March 17, 2021 in American english.
There’s a sentence which was used by British singers and contains all the British English vowels.
I have no idea who will know of aught of art will then take his ease.
Some people might object That take and know are diphthongs, and this sentence doesn’t include the other diphthongs bough, buy boy, boy. Are singers supposed to make the vowels of take and know monophthongs?
