Holy moly proper use of the regular past tense of sneak?? I haven't seen that on the internet ever. "I sneaked my way into the concert, but I also snuck several beers into the venue."

Wait, English has two different verbs "to sneak"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Transitive vs intransitive, I guess

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That would be an absolute anomaly in English, as far as I know.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah yes, because English is such a structured and regular language otherwise

I think you conflate irregular orthography and irregular grammar or conjugation paradigms.

Like it's pretty regular otherwise.
