I do, that's the one thing I love about it.

However, there's always a structural pressure "forcing" the verbs and nouns to become regular. That's why some verbs like "dive" have two different forms in the past (dived/dove). Whoever says "addicting" is probably making an analogy with those other adjectives I mentioned.
