How did this abomination of a conjugation become normal communication?


Drug?  It's "dragged"!


Why make an irregular form of the past tense of "drag" when the 
irregular form would also be an existing present-tense verb (and a noun)?


Irregular verbs are not normal - it's in their name even.


Drug is already a verb and means something quite different.


I swear, soon people with communicate via a dozen emojis, exhortations 
of "I'm laughing out loud (even though nothing actually funny 
happened)", and some memes.
