    Is bit a word, should it be bitten? I know bit is a word, as in a bit of toffee, or drill bit, but does bit mean bit as in the action of being bitten? Oh, my head hurts!

    Yes bit is correct if used to describe the past tense:

    "He bit me!"

    What other word did you think should be used instead?

    It's only a game
