Why does Word tell me that creeped isn't a word? It is! Isn't it..? It should be. I mean really, which sounds better:

"The cameras creeped me out"

Or

"The cameras crept me out"

I'm fairly certain it's just a non-comprehension error on microsofts part but still >_<"

I hate that!

I hate how 'creeped' isn't a word! It really should be! But I think it might be the way you use the word. Like if something creeped me out then that makes sense. Something crept me out does not! But if it's like "I creeped around the corner." versus "I crept around the corner." the second sounds a bit more normal. But I am not sure if you are talking about just one kind of 'creeped' or both so  there is my opinion! :I
