Email from Dad.
My dad is hilarious. He wrote the following in response to my admitting to the fact I'd sneaked out of my parents' house when I was in high school. However, I'd used the word "snuck" instead of "sneaked" and then he wrote back...
Being a writer, we should be clear here. The word is "sneaked" not "snuck." There is no such word as "snuck". Just like there is no such word as "pled"--it's "pleaded".
That's your English lesson for today.
Oh, and speech that of, I mostly forgetted to say you! Next time you gone to here, I could come to Seattle and you to make pictures! Mostly goodness? Dang good speakage, huh? I telled you then!

I gotta tell you Carly.... I kinda miss your dad. He's so witty and kind :-) Please tell him "hi!" for me!
'pled', as far as i can tell, actually is a correct and usable past participle for 'plead'. at least, merriam-webster tells me so.
brilliant
