The grammar monster in me is going to need a trigger warning next time.
I think the wrong spelling is part of the meme adventure
What if it's different species of deer? Does it work like fish?
Oh deers
Dirz
I would say yes
Why is the plural the same as singular that does make no sense
Actually I find it don't make no sense
Oh deer
naw just the one.
It's Durrs to you city folk.
Why is English so ridiculous that the plural and singular of deer is the same word? And why do people want to keep it that way?
Go speak a language with gendered nouns and leave English alone
The plural of "moose" is also "moose" but it's not because of English. Moose derives from Algonquian, a Native American language. It kept the same plural ending it had in its original language instead of adopting the normal "s" ending of most English plurals.
I believe the plural of "moose" is actually "meese".
Goose : Geese :: Moose : Meese
Mouse : Mice :: House : Hice
"MOOSES" Sounds like moose jesus
This isn't an english specific trait. Lots of languages have something similar.
For instance, in portuguese we do the same for words that end on the letter S.
Ex: Lápis (Pencil), Vírus (Virus), Ônibus (Bus), etc.
Oh deer
I'm glad that quick answer is there, no way I'm reading that whole thing.
John, you can't license away the plural of deer.
I acknowledge that the council has made a decision, but given that it is a stupid-ass decision I've elected to ignore it.
