I would invite the author to peruse the Harbrace Handbook before she writes again.
“Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday night dove back into the world of scantily-clad, booze-fueled college students on spring break.”
The word “dove” refers only to a particular species of bird.
The past tense of the verb “to dive” is dived.
The principle parts are dive, dived, dived.
I dive.
I dived.
I have dived.
“Equality is a myth”. At last, some truth from a Hannity show.
And, in other breaking news, it has been determined that bingo games at Catholic churches leads to compulsive gambling and the use of meth. Update at 11:00 PM.
Indeed. Just like the myth that “all men are created equal” in that liberal declaration of independence thingy Jefferson wrote. Anyone who;s ever been in a locker room knows that it isn’t true. Of course, the fact that physical equality is not what is being talked about here is much too subtle a notion for the likes of Hannity or anyone else who appears on Focks News to grasp.
I’ll go with ‘regurgitation salad.’ Pretty Spot On. Thank you!
“These women are not as strong as men.”
Geeze I thought this was settled ago
OK, one more time:
Has this fellow ever had a baby?
And I’d like to add that Gavin McInnis has never met Mrs darr who has ridden her bike across Iowa (as part of Register’s Great Annual Bike Ride Across Iowa). This will be her 7th time doing this feat. 530 miles in one week ain’t a slouch effort. I doubt Mr McInnes could do it.
I wonder what Hannity’s crew was up to…off camera.
Inquiring minds and all that.
I’m an old-school AD&D DM. I used to design my own modules. Several have been used in tournaments. I could devise some intricate traps, but I am NOT that mentally diseased…
Just a point of order before beginning: one cannot be a former co-founder.
That grammatical point aside, young men and women have gone on spring break since time immemorial and have behaved badly. In fact, the entire point of spring break is to behave badly. McInnies and Hannity (what is it about Irish-American guys anyway?) act as if this is some recent liberal conspiracy that is besmirching the upstanding reputation of spring break.
Sean’s “expose’” could be a SNL skit.
Now, we all know that Jefferson really meant all WHITE males were created equal…
Nah. More like some MTV self-spoof.
Actually, you’re wrong about that. Dove is also the past tense of dive.
In 1969 I watched “spring Break” unfold on a Mexican beach. After a few hours I saw enough that I headed back north. Full on debauchery of that type wasn’t all that attractive to me.
“The women [on spring break] are human garbage whose parents don’t love them,” McInnes said on the 2014 “Hannity” panel.
He’s just so respectful of women, isn’t he?
White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant males. I doubt that he included the Spaniards and the French in that.
Dove vs. dived
Dived is the traditional past tense and past participle of the verb dive. But the newer dove, which probably came about by analogy with similar words like drove and wove, has been in the language approximately two centuries and is now standard in American and Canadian English. Outside North America, where dived still prevails by a large margin, some might consider dove wrong.

1857 Canad. Jrnl. Industry Sci. & Art 2 Sept. 351 “In England when a swimmer makes his first leap, head foremost, into the water he is said to dive, and is spoken of as having dived… Not so however, is it with the modern refinements of our Canadian English. In referring to such a feat here, it would be said, not that he dived, but that he dove.”

“It went surging up adjacent ridges—surmounted them and disappeared in the canons beyond—burst into view upon higher and farther ridges, presently—shed a grander illumination abroad, and dove again …” [Mark Twain, Roughing It (1872)
If it’s good enough for Mark Twain, it’s good enough for me. Harbrace is still living in the 18th century.
Right…because nothing says “my favorite paper I ever wrote” like “needing” to go down to Cancun and other Spring Break locales during Spring Break to do your “first hand observational research” and getting your knob polished by a different drunk 20-year-old college chick each night.
“The women [on spring break] are human garbage whose parents don’t love them,”
Teatroll Rosetta Stone: “None of them would sleep with me or even talk to me when I went on Spring Break.”
PS: He went last year.
This, and the rest of the post, is column-worthy.
