Over the past couple of years, I've seen "grinded" sneak in as the past tense of "grind" when it's used in a sexual sense ("We grinded our hips together.")
My dictionary indicates that while such a form does exist, it is obsolete. Does anyone have any idea how this is making its way into published fiction so frequently? Should it be stetted or changed to "ground"?
