Can you elaborate as to how you pronounce the word "toasted" without saying the "-ed" as a separate syllable? I can't see how it can be pronounced other than as a separate syllable.
I was going to say no, I would use the term 'bless-ed' , but then I got to thinking, "How do I know I'm not a country bumpkin?" Don't we all think of ourselves as the epitome of sophistication?

Some of you people have to be wrong!
