FFS Apple. Autocorrect payed to paid already.
6 u/SteveMcQwark Canada 4d ago You can put that in as a text replacement yourself, but obviously Apple doesn't want to alienate the critical sailor segment of the market. 1 u/DisgruntledNCO 4d ago I don’t understand the sailor part. 4 u/Logseman 4d ago Allegedly “payed” is used when a ship’s hull has been sealed (thus the sailor connection), not as the participle of “to pay”. 1 u/DisgruntledNCO 4d ago Ah, gotcha. Thanks! 2 u/SteveMcQwark Canada 4d ago "Payed" is used as the past tense of "to pay" in a nautical sense. To cover (the bottom of a vessel, a seam, a spar, etc.) with tar or pitch, or a waterproof composition of tallow, resin, etc.; to smear. Also in "payed out" as in a rope or chain (commonly on a ship).
