    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.

    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.”

      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.”
