I am surprised...I don't think I would ever say "lighted". I didn't even know it was a "real word". The exclusive use of "lit" must be some strange Canadian thing...or western Canadian thing...I don't really know. [shrug]

Don't feel left out. "Lighted" just sounds wrong to my ears also, and you know where I came from. (Even if delighted, etc. doesn't give me fits)
