Here's another of the photos (from many years ago) of the Cher River on a misty, foggy late autumn morning. I used to take Callie down to the river for walks now and then. There's a hiking trail along the river bank that makes it a more or less easy walk. I haven't been back down there in ages. Maybe it's time!
Misty morning on the Cher.
The holidays are right around the corner! That snuck up fast. OK grammar fans, sneaked or snuck?
Snuck....
ReplyDeleteThe "correct" word 'sneaked' sounds weird.... langwidch evolves!
The more I mull it around inside the vacuum at the top of my spine.... "he or she sneaked up behind" works but not for "it or they".... "they snuck up on" sounds nicer than "they sneaked up on"....
DeleteI just know snuck is more common in American English and sneaked in British English. In thinking about it, I don’t know which one I now naturally use. I think Tasha deserves to go on that mystical walk to the river.

ReplyDeleteI agree with snuck ... for what I say :) But, I Mitch is associated with many British speakers, so, my money's on his comments ;)
ReplyDeleteMy 7th grade English teacher (Miss Titangos) made a big deal out of declaring that "there's no such word as 'snuck,'" so that's the way I go. I also agree with those who think "sneaked" sounds weird. -- Chrissoup
ReplyDelete'Sneaked' sounds 'normal' to me.
ReplyDeleteSnuck. C.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely one!
ReplyDeleteSneaked is correct. Snuck is not a word.
