JCK Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 OK please help chaps. I wrote a report at work which contained the words, "the problems that ARISED due to....." I have since received many notes, abusive comments etc from Thais with talking dictionaries who claim the word should be "arose". Looking at dictionaries, I have to admit they seem right. I am sure I have heard the word "arised" used frequently. I am normally so proud of my writing as I'm sure my posts here demonstrate. Is "arised" a word or have I made a mistake?

Central Scrutinizer Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 JCK, Arose is correct. Arised isn't a word. Arisen, arises, arising, are also proper. I heard a guy on television last night use the word (not) "arrove" in place of "arrived". You probably have heard the word "arised" used before in common speech, but it is not proper English, and not really a word. So the Thais were correct! :-) Ouch. 555!
