    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.

      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.

        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 😭

        That’s because whenever you put them in the car, they’re going to the cattery or the vet.

        They’re not like dogs where they might go to the park.

        Nothing good comes from car rides for cats.

        The difference is that you or I would be putting the cats in the car. This cat got in the vehicle, passed out, and woke up on a road trip.

      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.

        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.

          Correct. Thats also what I read. Snuck is irregular, and came about due to common use anyway. So while it’s not correctly following ver typical rules, it’s adopted into the lexicon anyway.

            Are you not aware of the different forms of English? There are several differences between American English and British English, “spelled” and “spelt” being one example.

            Collins and Merriam-Webster are both American English dictionaries, and the Oxford English Dictionary is a British English dictionary.

            I vote that all Germans should from now on refer to distances in terms of Saarland - but rather than use kilo- mega- etc, you just add extra "A"s. Actually, better idea, you should change the name of Germany itself to Saaaaaarland.

      Wait, English has two different verbs “to sneak”?

          I mean, OC implies that “sneaked” and “snuck” have different meanings

              Yeah, so far I’ve also only heard snuck.

        More than that. One can creep about, or flit stealthily from place to place.

        I’m sure there’s more.

          Nono, those are synonyms of " to sneak". He is saying that sneak has two different past tenses, depending on the meaning.

        Transitive vs intransitive, I guess

          That would be an absolute anomaly in English, as far as I know.

            Ah yes, because English is such a structured and regular language otherwise

              I think you conflate irregular orthography and irregular grammar or conjugation paradigms.

              Like it’s pretty regular otherwise.

      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.”

        Also, have you met a cat? They basically roll a nat 20 on every goddamn stealth check when they want to.
