    English is insane. Why not make the same table with "read"?
    Spelling | Pronunciation | Meaning
    ---------|---------------|---------
    read     | reed          | present tense of verb "to read"
    read     | red           | past tense of verb "to read"
    red      | red           | colo(u)r
    Red      | red           | some kind of zebra
    
    Or even "bread":
    Spelling | Pronunciation | Meaning
    ---------|---------------|---------
    bread    | bred          | present tense of verb "to bread"
    breaded  | bred-ed       | past tense of verb "to bread"
    bred     | bred          | verb to make baby
    breded   | bred-ed       | past tense verb to made baby
    
    How is "to made babby" formed? How verb get conjugate?

    Too late to be purpled now, but it's the thought that counts?

    OMG!!!

    This is brilliant. This forces city officers to have to change the names of calendar-month sounding streets and roads to something more sensical like 'B' road or 'Street' road.

    Since the octopus already has an s, the second one is optional.
