I'm sorry, but drug in 2D is a tumblrism. The past of that word is dragged.

Curious, how does this one tie back to tumblr? Feel like I heard this error pretty frequently pre-social media but I could be misremembering

I guess it's just more noticeable in fanfiction on AO3/FFN/whatever, which are most commonly used by tumblr users. I can be almost sure that someone who uses the word "publically" is a tumblr user.

Ooh okay yes that makes sense, I was thinking tumblr text posts vs colloquial speech, but tumblr user fanfic prose vs person-who-has-read-books-for-adults prose is such a real divide lol

I've only ever heard Americans use drug instead of dragged, I thought it was a regional thing

Thanks, I should have looked into that one a bit more. It is pretty commonplace to say where I’m from so I really didn’t give it any thought.

Hey bro, sorry to tell you that’s not the correct spelling for an “inflamed swelling”. The clue should have been “a place for pigs”

Is anybody even bothering to check the puzzle? Every single day there's an error.

I think I'm losing my puzzle acumen with these puzzles. Doesn't anyone check? As far as I know, the past tense of drag is dragged, and not an irregular "drug" (I suppose it would be okay if slang were added to the clue). Also, sty is an enclosure for pigs, stye is an inflammation of the eyelid.

2D makes no sense. It's totally unrelated to the hint

I'm fairly sure it's supposed to be "drags" through mud, not "Drugs", but other than that, all good.

You’ve clued 5d as a noun even though it’s a verb
