Confidently incorrect
Today, my friend told me how she crept out last night to hook up with her boyfriend. At one point, she said she "snack" out, so I corrected her by saying it's "snuck". My boyfriend snorted, showed us in a dictionary that it's actually "sneaked" and called us "fucking idiots". FML

Both are acceptable. "Snuck" is more common, in my experience. It's like "hung" and "hanged." Hung was actually added to the dictionary later, as many people thought "hanged" sounded awkward and improper.

I wonder what it is that makes people so angry about grammar and spelling.

We like to sound intelligent, and we also don't like to have to decipher garbled "attempts" at English for meaning? It's the same sort of reason anyone would want to be CORRECT at anything.

Snuck is a correct p.p of sneak, even Jennifer Gardner questioned Conan o'Brian once and boy, is she wrong

It's snuck, unless you use sneaked out.

Today, I know past particle of sneak exist both snuck and sneaked. American and Canadian use snuck. But in dictionary, sneaked is correct.

#80-- "Snuck" is also correct in dictionaries.

technically you are both right. Snuck is more of a dialectal thing. In Scotland, instead of saying told (as in.. I told you so) many of us say telt. Although for us that's probably something to do with Gaelic because tell and told are irregular present/past tense, whilst Gaelic uses a regular past tense (the word for swimming is also the word for swam for example). But yeah, both are acceptable.
