“I hate to do this, because it’s just not me to criticize typos and misspellings. However, this one is so glaring. It’s not payed, it’s paid. I hope my little reminder helps you in the future.”

Many English language dictionaries disagree with your assessment and list “payed” as a verb: “A past tense and a past participle of pay”.
“However”, if it feels so good for you to point out others’ perceived shortcomings, carry on. Narcissists often do so. I hope my little reminder helps you in the future. :-)

You said—”if it feels so good for you to point out others’ perceived shortcomings, carry on.”

OMG. You are projecting your own emotions on me. If you read my post with any comprehension, you would know that I said it doesn't feel good to me to point out others shortcomings, etc. In fact, I hate it and have never done it in all 12 years of posting on FR. Thanks for the little reminder of arcane and nonstandard usage of the word “payed.” It will remind me of you who would intimate that I was narcissistic without a soupcon of proof or knowledge of me. How's that for arcana? I hope you enjoy trafficking in your secret and mysterious language and spellings. Go for it. We low-brows will try to keep up.
