Love this C.J, my mother always would say that the plural of sheep might be shoop. I don't think there was any linguistic logic to it given English is such an amalgamation of languages, I think she just thought it sounded cute 🤣 ❤️

I added something to the post a little while ago. Someone mentioned that the plural of spouse was spouses, not spice. I said if I had two spouses at the same time it would definitely be spicy!

It's not "goed" because "gone" sounds better.

That must be how a foreigner looks at our language! They read it and say,

“Huh?”

Thank you! You added 3 slang terms to help me see the back of the linguistic sleigh as it moves away from me. Good to keep up.

Do you ever use, "Whatever?". My son and I say it all the time!

C.J. Heck's avatar

Yes! When I’m really frustrated or feel I’m wrongly disagreed with. Neither of those ways are particularly positive …
