Would you use the word "snuck" in a newspaper article?
Maybe I am getting old and persnickety.
In an article about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in today’s Ars Technica web site (www.arstechnica.com), the author used the word “snuck”. As in, “Ars snuck in to take a look”.
To me, ‘snuck’ is a word that teenagers use because they haven’t learned to speak proper English. To have it in a news or feature article smacks of lousy writing and even poorer editing.
Should the editors have snuck “snuck’ into this article?
