I caught myself saying this the other day:

If he redos his composition, I will adjust his mark.

Does it sound ok to you (I admit it looks strange)? If so, is it because the prefix makes you intuitively recategorize the verb as regular instead of irregular? Am I going native?

I would have written "redoes."

I suspect that is a pretty common "mistake", and becoming more common.
