- scoofy 13y agoPlease, I expect better than that from HN!
- gunn 13y agoThink there are a few more - "feel badly", "momentarily"
- scoofy 13y agoGood eye. Only one more!
- StavrosK 13y agoNo second clause in the "whether"? That's "sneaking out", though. Also, feh, descriptivists...
- scoofy 13y agoIt's "snuck" rather than "sneaked." Considered incorrect by many for nearly 50 or so years.
- StavrosK 13y agoSeriously? "Snuck" is incorrect? That's the first time I hear about this.
- scoofy 13y agoIt's not though, that's the entire point. All usages except irregardless, which is well on its way, are considered correct, though not so in the past. Also, snuck is the last accepted irregular verb, rather than pronoun.
