Fun fact, costed is a word but has a slightly different meaning than the way you have used it.
Costed means to get the details on the cost of something complex. Like "I costed the three projects and the last one is cheapest"
You tried to use it as the past tense of cost, but the past tense of cost is also just cost.
I love free English classes..
Free education? Hell yeah brother!
Learning is great, especially when it costed nothing!
I like OPs version better and chose to evolve the language that way.
Yeah; as a native and fairly well-educated speaker, I'm fucked if I can form the past participles of some of our verbs
If I swim across a river, is it now the swimmed river? Swum river? Swam river?
If I sneak into a room, have I sneaked? Snuck? Both sound wrong.
Didn't find anything ambiguous about 'costed', it works for me.
If you swim across a river, it is now a river you've swum. If you sneak into a room, you have snuck in.
Those are correct but they look and sound wrong.
so if I understand correctly, the past participle of drag is... cabaret?
If only a very small handful of people make the same mistake, it doesn't evolve the language, it's just a mistake, plain and simple.
I know you're just trying to make yourself feel a wee bit morally superior by saying that, but it's the complete opposite of how language evolution works

Fun fact, 'cost' is a regular verb in Canadian English. Infering from the lemmy.ca instance, the comment op might be a Canadian, which means the usage of 'costed' is correct.
I am Canadian, and I was taught Cost as past tense in school and university. I've never seen it written Costed for past tense in any government publication either.
So not only was it hateful, but it was wasteful, too. Good job, Utah.
Feature not a bug
Not that I want to defend these people but, why would they want that to cost a lot? Make a lot of BS jobs?
First thing that comes to mind is republicans want government to be wasteful and useless. So they do shit like this, then blame government and regulations, then push for smaller government and ignore their own role in fucking things up.
Also, they're giving jobs to bigots, which they love.
I'm sure there's many other reasons.
This is outrageous. They're not even going to attempt to investigate my report about an alien beaming into the bathroom and touching my peepee? Just for that, I'm filing 10 more complaints.
Never gonna catch me 👽
On this planet, you don't just leave a guy hanging like that. When you start a job, finish it dammit!
I'm still waiting for my alien reach around.
Gayliens.
Which bathroom tho
The humans' bathroom.
only five were investigated
Can one sue Utah for gross neglience now? I mean, they got thousands of complaints from concerned citizens, and they only cared for investigating five of them? Or do they profile those complaints into "we are not investigating certain types of people", e.g. politicians that have been reported?
It's only 5 so far, reading the Bee Movie script takes a long time, especially when they have to keep stopping to sound out every other word.

As a straight guy, I have just walked into the wrong bathroom or chaises a kid into the wrong bathroom more times than I want to admit.
People should keep submitting fake reports, and make them somewhat plausible. Just so they don’t get instantly discarded and can actually tie up more resources by actually getting investigated.
This is something an LLM is actually very useful for. It can make it sound both legitimate, be verbose and generate many submissions with little human effort.
Worth noting, Russia agrees very much and is flooding social media in a very similar way. The LLM makes it more effective now than in 2016
But like, how would they even investigate them? That's the part I don't understand. Whoever was peeing in there, they're gone by the time the cops show up. It doesn't take that long to pee.

Looks like they took the form down. If anyone has a new link, please post it. I've got some creative writing to share with the bigots in Utah.
Only 12000? Those are rookie numbers! Get back to work!
Seriously. This person filed 20,716 complaints about flight path noise pollution in a year. Just one person. I need to see a zero added behind that 12,000 figure, then I'll know at least six people are truly dedicated.
I'd rather my Tax Dollars go to THAT instead of feeding Starving American Children!
Who cares about if they’re hungry? I just want to talk about their genitalia!!!
I think we need to start breaking the law and self reporting. We'll send in pictures of our junk spewing urine in the wrong room so they'll be sure it's a legitimate complaint.
It turns out that writing "cum" 420 times isn't accepted as legitimate intel.
