    How about went diving? No you don't have to say "dived" or "dove" or "doveded".

    And mute, of course, is the commonly accepted past tense version of moot...
    Like: "the deaf mute's point was mute."

    Default dove or diven?

    I've often joked (and I've found many other Celts who say this) "DIVEN" as a past tense.
    eg. Scotsman to Irishman "I went to a dive site yesterday thats never been diven"
    I know its not correct but it just rolls off our tongues, like a colloquialism.
    Its true! "have you diven today?"
