Oh Que!

I have a troubling grammatical query. What if I find that I have more than one reason for my very existence? I know . . . I am still looking for the first, but what if, when I find it, it is a twofer?

The reason I am concerned is I just learned that the plural for 'raison d'être' can be ether: 'raisons d'être', 'raison d'être' or 'raison d'êtres'. The middle one makes no sense at all.

How can that be? It is not 'attorneys general' or 'attorney generals'. Only the first one is correct.

I am hoping that if I find a 'raison d'être' (singular) that I will resolve this troublesome dilemma before I find a co-morbid 'raison d'être'.

Des? Paging Des....

I'm fairly positive that only the first version is correct French grammar. Now, if we take precedent and look at how English speakers butcher French words, then pick whichever you like.

Damn. Now I'll have to dig out my French grammar books.

Sounds right to me. Reasons for existence as opposed to the non-plural reason(singular) for existence (singular or reason for (existences?)
 
No you won't. Don't you have kids? Then it's impossible to die alone.

I have one. You are right. Just thinking about that "special someone" that is supposed to be sharing my life with me, and then recalling the latest two losers I met since I have been in Madison...
 
Are you the evil one? There is always a evil twin.

You know it. Inna week, I bounced that other lil dude outta the crib onto his haid, and then there was one.

Sometimes you have to date losers to appreciate a winner when you find one.

Where there you go. You know that Madison is the birthplace of the America Communist movement. Nothing but pinkos there.

You even had the only Soviet State In America in Moisine: http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/columnists/on-wisconsin-communism-for-a-day-a-may-day-remembered/article_3d4b3e75-1649-5396-b682-3c192509dd83.html

Wear a gown with Fuck Me Right bitch boots instead of glass slippers.
Atleast it will whittle the pile down.
