Usage notes

* The Cambridge Guide to English Usage'' indicates that ''sped'' is for objects in motion ''(the race car sped)'' while ''speeded is used for activities or processes, but notes that the British English convention does not hold in American English. * Garner's Modern American Usage'' (2009) indicates that ''speeded'' is incorrect, except in the phrasal verb, (speed up). Most American usage of ''speeded conforms to this. * Sped'' is about six times more common in American English (COCA) than ''speeded''. ''Sped is twice as common in UK English (BNC).
