Well since Britt is a Jineddy (Jinny and Teddy) and Morganne is a Jinanybody (Jin and Anybody) I'm a JinMag, now you can figure that one out on your own.

*Me, Britt, and Morganne are self appointed message board bad girls...we rebel against self appointed moderators... You know who you are!*

You've got me thinking about the "exceptions" to the rule in going from singular to plural.

EX:

fish- fish
goose- geese
moose-moose
thesis- theses
mouse- mice

etc. etc. etc.

Q: How about a computer "mouse"?

(and note this: The "traditional" way of ending a sentence w/ a quote is to put the quote on the outside (according to my committee chairperson) ex: My above question should look like this:

Q: How about a computer "mouse?"

Kind of breaks the rule, don't you think?

What made you think about this topic, Max?

Ummm....it wasn't just like one dude sitting in a cave that was bored and said "I think I'll make a new language." Language evolves. English is a germanic language. And that's about the extent of the english language that I feel like thinking about right now.
