Why do some words have two past tense forms (e.g. “dreamed” vs. “dreamt”)?

English

This is essentially language change at work. Do you know how Shakespeare sometimes sounds "weird" to us? that's because English has changed since then.

Language change is not abrupt, but gradual, and while the change takes place sometimes two forms are used: so while it is likely that in years to come only dreamed will be correct, and in the past only "dreamt", currently the change is not complete and both are correct.

How do other countries view South Africa now, compared with how they viewed it in the past?
zaharov [31]
This is a complicated matter.  The answer depends upon the particular country and, moreover, who is making the assessment.  In some nations, the general thought is that South Africa serves as the model of a nation that overcame - rather quickly - its racist and fascist leadership.  Other nations - especially those in Western Europe - feel that South Africa, as a nation, still has plenty of strides to make toward racial equality and, moreover, making reparations for past injustices.
