another grammar rule

[perks]

For the most part in the english language if there is a noun that ends in "y" and you want to make it plural, you drop the "y" and an "ie" and smack an "s" on the end.

moneies?

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

Gawd. This is the only one I ever get right.

Where the fuck have you been?

 

[DarkAngel]

what's and ie?

 

[perks]

moneies?

I did say "for the most part"

For that one, you would drop the "ey" since the "e" is silent. Therefor it would be monies.

I'm sure since you're *so* brilliant about things, you already knew this, and you're just being an ornery putz. I will forgive you this once.

home with Ms. I'm getting into everything and beating you with vaccuum poles. Also, addicted to yahoo literati.

MIL is going to be here this weekend. I'm *SO* excited.<read sarcasm here>

I am feeling disconnected to lots of things right now. Don't have a lot of energy, so I'm putting it into the duckling.

 

[perks]

what's and ie?

The question would be, "What's an 'ie'?"

and the answer, those are letters.

Characters that when put together form sounds, which in turn form words. Words can be put together in things called sentences and this is one of the ways we communicate on this planet.

I'm sure an angel, like yourself, has some basic questions about this world, since you're all busy with Lucifer and the lake of fire, and probably really didn't have any time to study up on us.

Check with your boss. He has a file on me. I've already been measured for my handbasket.

I bloody hate those bloody apostrophe-wielding barstards! Plurals are easy, just add an s! no extra punctuation is required! occaisonally you might have to do something complicated such as tomato into tomatoes, city into cities or sheep into sheep, but other than that it's dead easy!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!!1

 

[tortoise]

Perky, have I told you lately that you rock?

 

[Stout chap]

I love to discu's's variou's use's of apostrophe's with perky baby.

Let's discu's's them!

 

[phrodeau]

I like the "smack an 's' on the end" part.

My mother's favorite "grammar gaffe" (although it isn't a gaffe, she just thinks it SHOULD be!) is on signs on the highway where it says:

Drive Friendly

Everytime Mother sees one of those it irks her. Well, she is 80....so we can cut her some slack! LOL!

(I won't admit that I see her point)

Ok...so this doesn't fit in with the subject perfectly....
