I'm just signing up. One of the questions is: Did you "use" to believe in a god? What language is that?
'Use' as in drugs or something else like a cleaning agent to remove those stubborn stains?
Used in the sense of utilised comes from the Latin uti "to make use of"
Used to, in the sense of a former state of affairs comes from the Latin oeti " to have practiced or exercised"
In short they are simple homonyms.
There are different versions of English around the world. (For the avoidance of doubt, I am CELTA qualified: [cambridgeenglish.org] ) Ping @Sticks48 @bingst
Like I really give a shit anyway.
It's English. And it's correct. Read the "Usage" section.

Appears to be removed? That was fast.
Good answer, I had no idea of that particular usage.
