I used to have that conflict.  I only write the -D as had in a phrase, but I do the whole thing - HAD is had.  Forgot the phrases years ago and usually write it out.

I just changed a bunch of my phrases to incorporate the H (had) at the beginning.  Now I'm really going to screw up.  Hopefully, it will be a quick-and-easy transition.

Initial H here too.  Great for phrasing.

Yeah, Quyen, for some reason I can't think of an example of when had comes up by itself either :)  I'm sure it does, though!  Isn't if funny how we know we questions about how things happen but then can't think of a specific example ~ things like that happen to me all the time!!  But I do/would use the initial H.

Stacy, I have those same strokes too.  I'll have to wait until a specific example comes up where I'm having a conflict with -D for "had" by itself.  I guess the easy solution would be for me to do the dumb thing, too, and do H for "had."  ;)

HU*FRB = had you ever been

SRU*FRD = have you ever had

 

and Christi's just a pain  (LOL!!  She knows I love her so I can say that!!)

I write "had" like -D.  How do you guys write "had you ever been" or such phrases where had is either at the beginning or end of the phrase?

Stacy, I'll be dumb with you - I write had as H too!

All in fun, Christi, as all your HAHAs indicate! :)

Hey, you ~ Eclipse rocks ~ so there :P  

I actually don't think I ever write just H, though ~ isn't "had" always with a phrase??  either in front or behind? (oh, God, I'm just giving you ammunition, huh?)

I write had by itself H-.  In a phrase I use -D, but haven't noticed conflicts with the -ed I don't think.
