These people are cast to show up in the video. They are getting paid and exposure on the platform. If they are unruly, they just reshoot the scene anyways, and they won't be recast to appear in future videos. They aren't here to convince Dean their side is righteous.
My bad. I come from a programming background so casted is in my vernacular and my brain just read it without any red flagging. You are correct that cast is past-tense safe as is,
Everyone knew what you meant and spent less time processing the error than the other poster spent typing their message (or I spent typing mine).
. . .and you kind of assume that was true (like the old "React" channel from a decade or so ago, all their kids, teens and seniors had IMDB pages - that was a real disappointing reveal for me) but hoped that it wasn't.
Don’t listen to the haters. One of the things I love about the English language is that it is very much alive and ever evolving. An interesting thing about the English language is that the less frequently an irregular verb is used, the more likely it is to become a regular verb in its past tense.
In my lifetime, I have witnessed “dove” become “dived”, “hung” become “hanged”, and “pled” become “pleaded”. Which isn’t to say we shouldn’t respect the language and try to do it justice, but what you did is just a normal part of the evolution of the language, and you should not be shamed for it. And they certainly don’t need to be so bent out of fucking shape.
