I used to think "snuck" was correct, but TIL.

There is no 'correct', there is only what is spoken. Snuck is perfectly acceptable.

This is the only correct form. Until this very moment I have almost always fallen on the descriptivist side of things, but this is now the prescriptivist hill I will die on.
