Ever notice when you read the read the news how many spelling and use of sentence structure errors are in the title scripts and the follow up dialog? Is there such a word as sneaked?, can you feel more better after sergery? Did the snake really bet him in the leg? Just needed to vent my runt for the day

Yes, agreed, poorly written anymore.
Including ambiguity in the headlines!
Too much reliance on auto-corrupt that puts in the wrong, but properly spelt [sic] words?

Both sneaked and snuck are acceptable.

I used to be a spelling snob before I realized some very talented people were awful spellers but great in their own areas, including on UHH! Try watching closed captioning on TV if you really want to see creative spelling!

Yup. Some of the news reports are abominable.
Then again, my girlfriend sent me a text with a photo of her in her new dress. She asked me if it made her look fat.
I replied, "Nooooooo". for emphasis.
Autocorrect sent "Mooooooo".
I had a lot of explaining to do.
