1 Answer

Answer :

Snuck is commonly used in America. I guess maybe it is not the best choice. Sneaked in is better. I don’t associate it with teenage talk. I don’t know if it’s considered part of a dialect? I would have no problem with it in an article. I can see why it sounds odd to some people. It’s similar to when someone says or writes they burnt the pot roast. I use burned, but they are both correct.
