Incorrect spelling

shooted

Incorrect spelling, explanation: an English verb to shoot is irregular and its past simple and past participle form is shot. However, some users of English think it is regular and they form the past simple and past participle form by adding the -ed ending, which results in shooted. This form is wrong, though, and the only correct form is shot.
