Sinked???

It’s when you launch sinks as high speed projectiles at a target.

“Oh shit. They’re loading up the cast iron ones.”

This might be one of those edge cases like hanged vs hung where sank would imply they sank and sinked implies sinking someone else.

It was the only part of English class I struggled with, but if I remember right, we’re dealing with the difference between active and passive objects in a sentence. Someone smarter can correct me if I’m wrong.

Hung means something else entirely

depends on if it’s an active or a passive object

Mr. Big Penis enters the chat.

You sinked my Battleship!

Yeah, let that sink in

It means to put in a sink, in a kitchen

It’s the washington post in 2025, what do you expect?

This title didn’t come fro WaPo though….?

Well, American education levels…

Reddit is leaking.

OP probably isn’t native English speaker and likely knows more language than English grammar Nazis.

Keep your English language elitism to yourself.

And how was that comment hurtful before you spouted your bs? It was simply pointing out a mistake, which might even be appreciated by people who are able to learn instead of being butthurt.

Non natives tend to spell English better than natives.
