  I have an old kindle and I love it. Does everything I need it to. Read books with a backlight, that’s it.

  Susie Dent mentioned on a radio 4 show that words that maintained the archaic -t ending are usually more commonly used words. Words that are used less lost their -t ending and gained a more generic -ed ending as people were not taught it and used the rule they knew. So words we have like slept, dreamt, smelt are regularly used words day to day.
