'Read' and it's past tense are spelled the same. How should they be spelled?

what if we just change the past tense to red? simpler?
Make it redd, to easily distinguish from the color.

The irony with using Connect is that the text for “redd” being done in code format makes it red. 🤣

People already struggle with ‘led’ being the past tense of “lead”. It seems like quite a few people extend the “read/read” rule to “lead”.

In other words, I don’t know if that would actually solve anything 😅
