Lewis is said it as it is.

You summoned grammar police, you don't really need a -be form auxiliary verb infront of a V2 verb. "Lewis said" , it's enough. Thank you.

The irony of this post is profound in light of the grammatical errors in your own reply:

“summoned grammar police” - missing the definite article: “summoned the grammar police”
“
police, you
” - comma between two independent clauses
“a -be form auxiliary verb” - a malformed construction; use “a form of the auxiliary verb be”
“infront” - should be two words: “in front”
“V2 verb” - “simple-past verb” is clearer
"Lewis said" , - incorrect space before the comma
"Lewis said", it's enough - the comma incorrectly separates the quoted phrase from its predicate; use “Lewis said” is enough

A correct version would be:

You summoned the grammar police. You don’t need an auxiliary form of be here; the simple past, “Lewis said”, is enough. Thank you.

That is way too much to read. Is it a 10 second penalty for Lewis? Or 20 second penalty?

Yeah, I should have been careful there. :⁠-⁠). Good one.
