Err... what do Americans use for the past participle of 'dive'? Do they really say "I have dove" or "I have diven"? 'Dive' used to be a regular verb, dammit!

Similarly we say 'sneaked' where Americans sometimes say 'snuck', though I'm starting to hear 'snuck' here as well.

Edit: Oh, your profile says you're British. Now I'm really confused; 'dove' just isn't right in British English 😕
