Joint. vs. joined
In this context for example only - which do you use - joint or joined?
1. I joint the union because it was weak
2. I joined the union because it was weak
I have read the definitions and interpret it both ways but someone is enjoying giving me hell over it.
Regards

Only 'joined' is possible here. It is the past tense of the verb join. 'Joint' is always a noun or adjective not a verb, so is incorrect.
