Any Word Ending In -Ed, Such As "Viewed", May End In -'d,
As "View'd".
This gets a little complicated in such cases
as "accompany'd" (accompanied), "try'd" (tried), "supply'd" (supplied),
"carry'd" (carried), "hurry'd" (hurried), and the like.
Also cases where the root word originally ended with an "e",
such as "us'd" and "continu'd".
These cases are not always noted.
