Not a white bird of peace but 'dived'!

[lottie]

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I dived yesterday NOT dove!!

Actually, both are correct. According to dictionary-reference.com states:
"Both dived and dove are standard as the past tense of dive. Dived, historically the older form, is somewhat more common in edited writing, but dove occurs there so frequently that it also must be considered standard: The rescuer dove into 20 feet of icy water. Dove is an Americanism that probably developed by analogy with alternations like drive, drove and ride, rode. It is the more common form in speech in the northern United States and in Canada, and its use seems to be spreading."

Just remember when you say "dived" you soud like an idiot.

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."

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?"

Humm...It just doesn't roll off my tongue.

I hate using the word "colloquialism" makes me feel all queezy inside....
