In linguistics, apophony is an alternation of vowel (quality) within a word that indicates grammatical information (often inflectional). It is also known as ablaut, (vowel) gradation, (vowel) mutation, alternation, internal modification, stem modification, stem alternation, replacive morphology, stem mutation, or internal inflection.

Why did my brain decide that today was the day to remind me that English ablaut systems are messed up and complicated and awesome and that I once tried to sort all that out for a paper?
Why do I want to sit down again and see if I canāt sort it out now?

Slid, slad, slode
Itās no secret that English grammar is really weird. The only insight I will add to that, with a Ph.D. in linguistics nearly in hand, is that the grammar of all languages is also really weird.
With that in mind, letās take a look at the following interaction among Redditors:
The issue is apparent immediately. The original poster, in green, says that a group of people āfell/slided a few meters.ā Slided, of course, is not prescriptively correct, but does appear (infrequently) in English, even in edited work.Ā
The top reply in orange just repeats the error, simply saying slidedĀ again, almost in veneration or amazement. A correction is provided, by purple. This is no surprise; Redditors pride themselves on the standardness of their spelling, punctuation, and grammar sometimes to the point of zealotry. As the purple user notes, slid is the preferred standard English past tense form of slide. So you get hide:hidden:hid and slide:slidden:slid. Yeah, seriously: slidden is mostly obsolete now, but in older sources and hypercorrect works, it pops up:Ā
Then, a whole chain of jokes arises naturally from the shared intuition that something about slide:slid is just...weird. Slode, one person in red offers up.Ā Slad, replies light blue.
We know, as native speakers of the language, that those arenāt right. They just canāt be. We might not know whatās right...but whatever right is, it aināt that.Ā
And yet, thereās a kernel of truth to them:Ā sladĀ really is an old past tense of slideĀ (though pronounced like sodĀ and not like had). Slode, of course, is built on the analogy of words like ride:ridden:rode. As a word, it's simply dreadful; it reminds me of a race ofĀ sluglike beastfolkĀ - and thatās overlooking the Urban Dictionary entries for slode or sload, mostly just disgusting portmanteaux.Ā
...And guess what?Ā
Slode is real.Ā
Take in this delightful entry from John McLellan's (1978) āMore Figures of Speech,ā especially the sample sentence in the second paragraph:
So there you go. Some people think that the English language has gotten worse over time, or that itās bad now and it used to be good. But I think we can all agree that no matter how far our language has slidden since the 1400s, itās probably for the best that it never slode down that path.
...actually nevermind, #team slode
