In books by well-known authors that I have read I keep finding sentences similar to this: "He crept cautiously toward the shed and,upon reaching it, shined the light from his flashlight through the small side-window."
   Shined?Whatever happened to the word "shone"?Has it been cast forever into the pit of non-usage or is it still among the living English words?I note this terminology with many well-known authors.
   Did the movie "The Shining" condemn "shone" to death?
