Sinked???

It's when you launch sinks as high speed projectiles at a target.

"Oh shit. They're loading up the cast iron ones."

This might be one of those edge cases like hanged vs hung where sank would imply they sank and sinked implies sinking someone else.
It was the only part of English class I struggled with, but if I remember right, we’re dealing with the difference between active and passive objects in a sentence. Someone smarter can correct me if I’m wrong.

You're sunk.

Hung means something else entirely
MeThisGuy@feddit.nl · 5 pts · 278d
depends on if it's an active or a passive object

Reddit is leaking.
OP probably isn't native English speaker and likely knows more language than English grammar Nazis.
Keep your English language elitism to yourself.

And how was that comment hurtful before you spouted your bs? It was simply pointing out a mistake, which might even be appreciated by people who are able to learn instead of being butthurt.

Non natives tend to spell English better than natives.
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world · 38 pts · 278d
It’s murder. Full stop.
Gonzako@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 278d
Yeah mates this is pretty deplorable. Not only you are shooting down a vessel that's not even worth the round is being shot at with, you're double tapping to make sure Noone tells about it?

Doomsider@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 278d
Just straight up murder, no question about it. Even blew up the survivors just to be sure.
starlinguk@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 278d
Not the first time Hegseth has done this.

Cowardly bombing innocent people from long distance.

are you "there yet" America? or do these not count because they were likely brown?
