   And while we're at it, can we get past/passed right?   
      
      
   Scully passed Mulder a pair of latex gloves.   
      
   Skinner passed right by Krycek and didn't see him.   
      
   Mulder and Scully met in the past.   
      
   Krycek has a checkered past.   
      
   Kersh tried to make up for some of his past actions by helping Mulder   
   escape.   
      
      
   I cannot count the number of times I've seen these done wrong, and it seems   
   to be a fairly recent development. I don't remember seeing this error back   
   in the Old Days. Now, people are talking about "events in the passed" all   
   the damn time.   
      
   Also, hi, Kipler! Nice to see you around.
