Message: [QUOTE="crv1728, post: 3731053, member: 7131"] Since you wanted to play the editor/ spelling nazi earlier, you should have written SHOWN or SHOWED, but not show. And you should have seen that coming! :) A: The usual past participle of “[B]show[/B]” (that is, the form of the verb used with “had” or “have”) is “[B]shown[/B].” But “[B]showed[/B]” is also acceptable and not a mistake. Dictionaries these days consider both of them standard English, but list “[B]shown[/B]” first. [/QUOTE]
