Outshined?
'Outshined' just sounds wrong to me. I know Americans are supposed to speak 'English', but it isn't really is it?

'Outshined' is a common 5-year-old's mistake here in England, quickly corrected. Of course language evolves and no matter how we may not like it, it does.

Interestingly, type 'outshined' into this 'Body of reply' text area and it is automatically underlined as incorrect. The options (on a right click) do not include 'outshone' (which, for me in my obvious dotage will remain correct), but several other 'wrong' options.
