Cast or casted
The word cast is quite often used to describe a commentated video footage of an instance of a competitive video game, or simply a match between two teams. I've just heard a pretty well established Australian caster say: "These games will be casted tomorrow."
Is that correct or should he say: "...will be cast..."?

Hi, The word cast is quite often used to describe a commentated video footage of an instance of a competitive video game, or simply a match between two teams. "? My dictionary offers as past participle only the form 'cast'.

- However, perhaps the form 'casted' may be used in Australian English.
- For example, I have never heard the term 'caster' used instead of eg sportscaster or broadcaster, yet from your post the term 'caster' appears to be accepted in Australia.

Hi,
You should say cast, not casted. It is nonstandard English by me. Maybe it is a matter of the Australian English
dialect. I cannot really know.
