I just have a question for the thread in general ...

When did "snuck" become the proper past tense for "sneak"?

Probably around the same time that “bust” became a synonym for the verb “break”. ~~sigh~~

However, I tell myself that English is a living language and, therefore, many words have undergone changes over the life of the language.

About the same time disrespect became a verb.

When “mistaken” became the proper word for “lied.”
