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

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 15 points 2 months ago (8 children)

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

I snuck into your mom's house last night

Sneakt

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 months ago

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.

No you sneakn't

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

I would say snekn’t, but that got me banned on some other site.
