Sinked???
It's when you launch sinks as high speed projectiles at a target.
Got sunk by the sinks.
Cant let them sinks in.
"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.
You're sunk.
Hung means something else entirely
depends on if it's an active or a passive object

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.
It’s murder. Full stop.
Yeah mates this is pretty deplorable. Not only you are shooting down a vessel that's not even worth the round is being shot at with, you're double tapping to make sure Noone tells about it?
Just straight up murder, no question about it. Even blew up the survivors just to be sure.
are you "there yet" America? or do these not count because they were likely brown?
Not the first time Hegseth has done this.
