reset
Correct spelling, explanation: reset is an infinitive verb or its past participle form. It means that no endings are added to the base, making the past tense of this verb. This is simply an irregular verb that form should be remembered by the users of the English language. Reset consists of two elements the prefix re and the verb set which means place something somewhere. After adding this prefix re, there is a change in the meaning of the word but the form is the same in Past Simple: set – set – set, not setted. And similarly, the word reset, its past simple – reset and past participle also reset, not resetted. To sum up, reset is the correct form and resetted does not exist.
Definition of reset:
verb, to put something back in the original position or place,
You can reuse this beautiful family diamond to reset it in a new engagement ring.
If a broken bone is not reset, it won’t heal at all.
resetted
Incorrect spelling, explanation: resetted is not an English word. It cannot be accepted as the past verb form of reset because this verb has an irregular form that remains unchanged. Unfortunately, resetted is a common mistake because it can be a typo for a word like resettled but it refers to a completely different thing as to establish something again. Therefore, resetted has incorrect conjugation of the verb reset and it should not be used in English.

The simple past of “to reset” is just “reset”, same as the simple present except that it doesn’t become “resets” for the third person singular.

hello everybody,
I am reviewing and modifying a technical document in English. In this documents the verbs «set» and «reset» are extensively used. The context is «the parameter xxx must be setted by the user to the value…». Now, I know that «set» is an irregular verb, so shouldn’t I write «must be set by the user»? Or is the technical term used in a different way from the «normal» one?
And what about «reset»? That seems to be born as a technical term.
Thank you in advance!

Hi, Sorry to revive this old thread, but I‘m in a doubt…
You can say «a flag is set» or in a past time «a flag was set», what about to say «flag setted» ?
We don’t use «setted» as a past tense of «set». We say «set».
Could you explain what you mean by «a flag is set»? I am not certain that set is the right verb to use, but that depends on what you want to say.
And welcome to the forum!

Response to post #6.
Could you explain what you mean by «a flag is set»? I am not certain that set is the right verb to use, but that depends on what you want to say.
It’s a data-processing term. A «flag» is a field within a record, usually with a value of either 0 or 1, that indicates some status of or previous action taken. The field containing the «flag» might initially be set at a value of 0, then reset to a value of 1 after new information is added to the record. Instead of being reset,a flag field might be updated. But «set» is a correct usage, and the declension is the same as for other uses of the verb—the simple past and the past participle are both «set,» just like the present tense.
-
#9
This type of binary flag is normally = 1 or true (set), or = 0 or false (unset).
In this case set and unset are attributes of the flag as well as the verbs used to indicate the action of setting or unsetting.
Reset is a repetition of set, not its opposite.
(Not all flags are binary flags.)
None of these verbs gets an -ed on the end

There is no word «setted» in English. Both the past tense and the past participle of «set» are the same as the present tense: set. The same is true of all words built from set, such as reset.
Set is not unique in this respect: for example, the verb cast has cast as its past tense and its past participle; there is no word «casted».

#12
Sometimes is better to use «setted» instead of «set», specially when you are programming… e.g. a program use a boolean flag named «is_setted». If you change it to «is_set» («just» because there is no word «setted» in english) then the meaning becomes ambiguous, «set» can refer to the noun (collection of objects). In this case using «setted» instead of «set» avoids a catastrophic confusion.

Not only that but there is another possible ambiguity that only affects flags. If I say «the flag must be set before continuing» there are two possible meanings
(1) We must set (verb) the flag
(2) The flag must already be set (adjective). In other words it must be in a «set» condition.
In everyday language this ambiguity does not matter. However in data processing the distinction is vital and ambiguity could be disastrous.
The author is writing a technical document and is using the verb in a non-standard way for a very valid reason.

Interesting idea.
I don’t understand the ambiguity in a flag named is_set, apart from the lack of specificity in the name. But of course, the rules of English, or any other language, do not apply to the names given by programmers to data fields.
In the original question, asked in November 2005, there is no risk of ambiguity. The language is precise, and the verb should be «set», not «setted».
«the parameter xxx must be set by the user to the value…»

In this very specific case, yes. However computer programmers (and hence technical authors) are notoriously consistent. I suspect that there are other places in the document where ambiguity could occur and the author is merely conforming faithfully to the convention.
I remember then when I was a programmer it was a constant irritation that, for example True has 4 letters and False has 5. Similarly with days of the week having names of different length. These inconsistencies make for a remarkable (and I mean a
lot
) of extra work for programmers everywhere.

Well then we shall just have to disagree. Maybe I was wrong about technical writers but I am not wrong about computer programmers or their documentation.
NOTE
Another very common example is the use of the words «inputted» and «outputted» for the same sort of reason.

For the benefit of non-native English speakers I would like to point out that I am in no way defending the use of «setted» in normal language. It would be entirely incorrect. My point is nicely put by Lewis Carroll by way of Humpty Dumpty.
«But ‘glory’ doesn’t mean ‘a nice knock-down argument,'» Alice objected.
«When I use a word,» Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, «it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.»
«The question is,» said Alice, «whether you can make words mean so many different things.» «The question is,» said Humpty Dumpty, «which is to be master—that’s all.»
In computer-science and even more so in mathematics, practitioners regularly make a formal definiton of the words and symbols they use and then stick to them. Complete lack of ambiguity is vital in such subjects and so definition and re-defintion is commonplace.
As a pragmatist in life generally, I believe that words are our servants and not we theirs.
So, having had my say, I reiterate that «setted» is not normal usage and should not be used in everyday prose.
-
#21
Speaking as a former editor who ended his working career directing the efforts of an office full of programmers, I would never have accepted «resetted» in programming, documentation or, for that matter, adjusting a timepiece.
(Noting that in most cases, looking to a computer programmer for advice on language is not the best utilization of resources.)
-
#22
Then you may have done a disservice to your
technical
readers by introducing ambiguity where there was none. Whether or not programmers are fluent exponents of poetry and prose is not the issue. Often, published user documentation is hopelessly inaccurate. Now perhaps I know why. By the way I have done technical writing myself as well as maths and computing.
We don´t speak now the way Shakespeare did. Are we right or is he? If a pedantic modern editor got hold of his works I dread to think what would result.
NOTE
looking to a computer programmer for advice on language is not the best utilization of resources.
If you wish to trade insults rather than hacve a rational discussion then normally I would be up for it, however I don´t intend to fan a flame war any further beyond this point.

I disagree, usually this kind of problems can be easily solved with giving a less general variable/field name than is_set.
and if you want to hint that your variable is an instance of a set/collection, then you should use type/interface for that (depending on your programming language).

The author is writing a technical document and is using the verb in a non-standard way for a very valid reason.
every Internet Engineering Task Force RFC was properly written without making up words like setted, so my opinion is that with proper wording, its doable…
for example rfc3514 says:
Multi-level insecure operating systems may have special levels for
attack programs; the evil bit MUST be set by default on packets
emanating from programs running at such levels. However, the system
MAY provide an API to allow it to be cleared for non-malicious
activity by users who normally engage in attack behavior.Fragments that by themselves are dangerous MUST have the evil bit
set. If a packet with the evil bit set is fragmented by an
intermediate router and the fragments themselves are not dangerous,
the evil bit MUST be cleared in the fragments, and MUST be turned
back on in the reassembled packet.
I can’t see any ambiguity
