Article: We Dove or Did We Dive That Dive Site?

I will stop using “Dove” for the past tense of “Dive” when “Drived” replaces “Drove”.

And I'll start using "dove" when "love" replaces "lived."

It is just another example of American English that is taking over the English language, largely through various forms of electronic media.
Personally I resist using words like 'dove' as a past tense of dive, the same as using the letter 'z' (zed not zee) in place of 's' in words like organise, or dropping the 'u' out of words like colour.
However, I guess that is just a reflection of my age and how I was taught (English) English in Australia many moons ago.

Not sure about the dove/dived debate, but great use of illustrations in the OP!
