Things the english language is missing

[highlyeccentric]

More verbs should be strong verbs. Accordingly, Dr Virago has hijacked the paradigm of the verb 'to wing':

...I'd like to declare that "to wing" is now a strong verb. Thus: I am winging it in class today, yesterday I wang it, and by tomorrow I will have wung it.

Just because.

Yes, please.

Haha! I love it. I wasn't aware that such verbal classes existed as to be categorised by strength, but I do often wonder about past and future verb-forms such as those.

What is it about the verb that defines it as a strong verb? Is it just the lack of the "ed" and the presence of an in-word change?

You know, wang in the US means dick.
