    This is the eighth time I’ve encountered “snuck” in the last week or so and not once have I heard “sneaked”. It’s official: English has changed.

    It’s kind of sweet that Agnes’s idea of dirty, subversive rap lyrics consists of underpants and nose-picking.

    Love Agnes’ description of the music. And all of this from a Job Center pamphlet.

    And don’t forget the same “music” and beat as every other rap “song”…

    The young lady who has no money knows more about poetry than I do. Right now I’m going to google “Robert Frost two paths in the woods”. Comics are not a waste of time. I get all my ideas from comic strips. Thank you Mr. Cochran for being brilliant.

    Not that I’ve ever heard much—or wanted to hear much— of the genre. But it’s always seemed to me that’s an essential ingredient.

    Merriam-Webster regards “snuck” as being standard, as well as “sneaked”. Only dead languages don’t change.

    The Road Not Taken – Poem by Robert Frost

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;

    Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claimBecause it was grassy and wanted wear,Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,

    And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to wayI doubted if I should ever come back.

    I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

    I checked with my buddy, Google and he said,." result for snuck sneakedLike leaked as the past tense of leak, sneaked was the original past tense and past participle for sneak, which means “to move in a stealthy or furtive manner.” Used as early as the late 1800s, snuck has become the standard variant past tense and past participle of the verb sneak.Jul 1, 2015".So is the current past tense of “leak,” “Luck”?
