Common sense tense

Someone over at Yahoo! Shine could use a little help with some basic language skills. Like how to write the past tense of a regular verb:

child clothing shine 1

Here’s a hint: Just add a D to the verb if it ends in E. While we’re talking elementary-school grammar, let’s not overlook the incorrect capitalization of president (it gets a cap only when preceding the actual name of a president). The word judgement, though not technically wrong, is a variant of the standard judgment, which is generally the preferred spelling. A couple of hyphens would come in handy in “high- and low-end items.” Just a suggestion.

Have you ever treated yourself to a good book on verb tenses? If not, I suggest you do:
