[QUOTE="Lineandinitial, post: 1156186, member: 29428"] Oh yes, it does. Just not in the way YOU use the language, or may have been taught to use it. That assumes your teacher knew what they were talking about and that you went to school, or were adequately home schooled. The OED entry for strike linked to by Radagasty gives a few examples of striked. The [I]latest [/I]one from 1596: [INDENT][B]1596[/B] THOMASIUS [I]Dict.[/I] (1606), [I]Moretum[/I], A kinde of pudding; also any thing that may be striked, as butter.[/INDENT] In the meaning: [INDENT][B]4.[/B] To smear (soap, blood, etc.) on a surface; also to spread (a surface) with (something); to coat (a surface) [I]over[/I] with oil, a wash, etc. [I]Obs.[/I][/INDENT] It also says the following: [INDENT][I]weak[/I] forms 4 [B]striked[/B], 4-6 [B]stryked[/B],[/INDENT] I think the numbers refer to the meanings in which the forms occurred. Striked also appears in a [URL='http://books.google.pl/books?id=pz3kkEIf4boC&pg=PA953&dq=striked#v=onepage&q=striked&friend=false']Dictionary of Middle English[/URL]: [INDENT](c) to spread (garnish or seasoning) on prepared food; spread (a medicinal preparation on a cloth); ben [B]striked[/B], of a street: be strewn (with flowers); [/INDENT] Anyway, striked is still correct, depending upon whose dictionary you choose. As to the examples of preterite and past participle in the meaning to refuse to work, there are also some: [INDENT][B]1793[/B] G. DYER [I]Compl. Poor People Eng.[/I] 74 The poor..seldom strike, as it is called, without good reason... The colliers had struck for more wages. [B]1801[/B] [I]Times[/I] 3 Aug., A number of Journeymen Biscuit-bakers..struck from their work for an increase of wages. [B]1840[/B] [I]Civil Engin. & Arch. Jrnl.[/I] III. 32/2 They ‘struck’, as it is termed, because their employer infringed, as they considered, upon their privileges.[/INDENT] Actually almost all of them in this entry illustrate the past tense/past participe use of strike, whereas I was using it in present tense. However, it is interesting to analyse the first and third examples, where struck is followed by an explanation. I am wondering if this hints at the use of word that may not have yet been well established. [/QUOTE]
