Irregular Verbs

I hate the trend of regularizing irregular verbs. It was one of my biggest gripes with Fallout: Equestria; I once shouted at the TV because some news anchor said "lighted" instead of "lit". It just sounds wrong; like something my six-year old sister might say. Now, though, I find myself de-regularizing words. Words that once felt natural - and I wish I could think of an example right now, 'cause that's exactly what this sentence needs - now sound clunky to my ears. I wonder, does anyone else have this problem?

EDIT: And why did I have to resist the urge to write "mine ears"? What's wrong with me?!
