readed?

0 Hi. 02br
00My dictionary tells me that the forms of the "read" verb are "read,read,read" so : "I read a book yesterday", not "I readed a book yesterday". Then why Google shows over 1.000.000 results for the word "readed"? 0-

0 Google also gives many hits with words like 'taked' and 'gived', and the horrendous 'its' vs. 'it's'. Irregular verbs and their inflection can be hard especially for foreigner, hence the 'popularity'.02br
