"Sneaked" vs. "snuck" is one of the Grammarnazi holy wars.

They are both technically correct, because English is very permissive with what it allows. But "sneaked" is the pure and good form, whereas "snuck" is only uttered by perverts and lowlifes.

So, you are not much of a fan of Samuel Clemens then.

His advice of - "Never let your schooling get in the way of your education." - is worth keeping in mind.

I strongly doubt that.
