Hey, Americans ...
Do you ever use forms of cliché other than plain old cliché? Such as clichéd or clichés? I see it used in a manner that I would consider wrong so often that I am wondering if it is one of those wacky idioms that English develops up all around the world. Or it could just be young people today with their emo music and Twittering ...

Yes, I was about to type my 412th [insert d] after the word cliché for an HP beta (for multiple writers) when I suddenly thought ... hang on, perhaps this is actually an acceptable usage a la gotten?
Apparently it is, and I agree with you that it is most likely due to diction. Which sounds odd to me as my mouth wants to close off that big open vowel to mark the p.p., but when I do a very bad fake American accent, it is actually harder to get my tongue up to the back of my teeth to make that d.
