It's a bit of a mute point as the word 'dove' (past tense of 'to dive') seems to have worked its way into the English language or, at least, the American version of it.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I dived yesterday NOT dove!!

Haha very funny But dove is still grammatically correct, right?
America and England, "two countries seperated by a common language".
SSMD Diver.
Today is a good day to Dive.
The only reason I caught it was because I do the same thing and catch all sorts of grief for it.
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."
