Isn't "Snagged" the correct form of the past participle? - Querulously,Q. Shorebird
Dear Q.,
Tricky question! Note that the sentences "Latham got snaggedin a risky bank heist" and "Latham got Snug in a risky bank heist" mean totally different things.
Thanks for the reply. If it's Middle English we're talking about, I should think the correct way to put it is "Latham gaet snoog inna riksy Bank Hoost." Cp. Chaucer, "The Larcener's Tale": "Ee gaet snoog anna rutted in Jaelle."
But at any rate, I suggest you stick to answering the questions of my prodigiously productive partner R. Shorebird, which are evidently numerous and undoubtedly more appealing to a popular taste. Perhaps we can have something about cosmetics, or the adopted pets of Hollywood starlets. Certainly not more grammar! Whom has the time in our rushed and scampered era?
