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!!
UM thanks for the English lesson but the word "mute" is defined as unable to speak, and the word "moot" is defined as not worthy to be discussed.
