STUFFS & THINGS! WRITING; RL; CONVENTIONS: Things are moving at a pace!

[daiseechain]

Well of course things are moving at a pace. If they weren't moving at a pace, they wouldn't be moving, would they? Silly, silly sayings.

But enough curmudgeonly! There are good news's-es. News is a plural, surely? So what is the plural of news? *

You know that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when judges create a category for you when there wasn't

Sheeps

Cannon also lacks a plural s. maybe it's a club. A scarey scarey club.

Shouldn't that then be a 'carey carey club'?

*Ahem*

Plural's?

What a delightfully ironic plural to have an aberrant apostrophe in! ;-p

More congrats on the fic, and thank goodness the injury is something they can fix!

:-DD

If you look closely it's actually "Plural 's' ", but granted due to the small font that's difficult to see.

That said, I'm one of life's Greengrocers - when in doubt, apostrophe it out!

Ta!

You want to know about sheeps? It's a strong plural, leftover from Old English, when such things were not so rare. See also ox/oxen, goose/geese, foot/feet etc. Quite why it doesn't change at all, instead of changing randomly in a non-s-adding way, I cannot say, except to mutter 'dialects' at you darkly. This is usually the right answer, somewhere along the line.

Congratulations on your disintegrating ligaments! That is indeed good news, and not in a sarky way. Also on your category-redefining fic, which: WOW!

And I shall see you in barely a couple of weeks time, joyously and jubilantly.
