We need to get back to pet-shaming more. It's funny, and they don't understand, nor do they have the faculties to have their feelings hurt by it.
We're going to need a bigger box.
Where's my seat? Dammit
Not only that but more often than not, the pet has the face of "What you gonna do about it?" which makes it even funnier.
I used to think "snuck" was correct, but TIL.
Never trust Merriam-Webster. I don't know if the errors I found are fixed now, but the fact they existed in the first place is disappointing. The only trustworthy English dictionary is Oxford.
Edit: Snuck is a US informal term, according to the backup dictionary, Collins. This dictionary is riddled with ads, but also multiple sources for alternative definitions.
Imagine being so far up your own ass you call another dialect a mistake that shouldn't exist.
Dialects exist
The Merriam Webster link didn't say it was incorrect as the guy implied. They said it's a correct form and gave the history.
Sneaked feels weird ngl
Though, interestingly, it doesn't feel weird to me for the past form, only the past participle!
There is no 'correct', there is only what is spoken. Snuck is perfectly acceptable.
I snuck into your mom's house last night
Sneakt
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.
I really appreciate you sharing that video with me and really enjoyed watching it.
I feel so loved right now <3
Spelled or spelt?
It depends whether you're English or American. Spelt is English.
Spelt is also a grain, a variant of wheat.
Yeah, one of the earliest cultivars
"snuck" is perfectly fine, as long as that's what you've heard since birth. 🤷
So, you’re telling me the cat was napping? The things they’re famous for?
Jk, I still like it.
My cats would be yelling immediately, they hate car rides.
Lol mine just about throws up when I take her 5 mins to the vet. Unfortunately for her, she has to do day-long road trips once or twice a year to visit family. But after she chills out, she's quite an easy rider. Just very anxious at the beginning haha. I love her so much 😭
Looks like kitty is along for the ride today, because I'm not taking a 2+ hour detour
Yea, but what do you do? No litter box, no food and water ... also, the guy has a cat meowing at him in his work van all day.
Stop and buy supplies of course! Even most grocery stores carry disposable litter pans, or just a plastic bin, along with food. Even a paper bowl will work for water.
NTA
I would love having a cat I can just bring with me anywhere I could bring a dog. I miss cats

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"?
Yeah, but people will look at you weird if you use sneaked in serious contexts.
Hmmmm
My German speaking brain (as a second language, my native language is English) is interpreting “my way” and “several beers” as accusative objects, and the repeated use of “into” as clues which would make me want to use the same conjugation for both. I could see “I sneaked into the concert but I also snuck several beers in.”
The letter of shame
Which is just the most adorable letter
Typical internet cats. Videos, pics, memes, and discussion welcome!
Rule 1) Be kind
Rule 2) Follow the lemmy.world rules
