Title: SNUCK
Post by: CrossEyed7 on February 10, 2009, 01:46:14 AM

Some people say that "sneaked" is the only right way. Others say that "sneaked" sounds stupid, and say "snuck" instead. The debate rages on. Where do you stand?

Without looking at any dictionaries, I thought it was "snuck". I'll probably always say "snuck".

But I'm also the guy who says "remound".

"Sneaked" is technically correct, grammatically speaking.  But I don't really care one way or another.

PS: I read the thread title as "SMUCK" at first.

I said they were "equally acceptable", in that sneaked sounds grammatically incorrect but snuck just sounds stupid.

Also, there was something innately hilarious about that title when I didn't know what it was about yet.

I believe they both sound good when surrounded by the proper words.

They are both acceptable.

I voted for both because it depends on how you use those words in different situations.

A past tense alternative which I like for 'snuck' is crept.

The following sentence seems like a valid explanation on the proper usage of the past tense word snuck. "I snuck into the kitchen while my brother was gone to steal his almond Snicker's bar" hmm... might be valid.

I particularly like the sentence If your sneaking was professionally snuck, you will encounter little resistance.
