    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.
