Irregular pluralization of the (American) English language is something that has to drive our ‘tired, poor, huddled masses’ mad when trying to learn to speak it.

I just had the need to pluralize analysis. For the life of me, I couldn’t remember if it was one of those singular/plural same words like species, or if it was an is/es switch. Luckily, the wonders of the internets led me to Joanna Crump’s Webpage on English Grammar and I was able to get proper confirmation.

Injoke –> Yes. Internet is not pluralized. It’s a ‘Bushism’ that was apropos to this entry. Did I really need to tell you that? I’m afraid I would have to, as some people just don’t get it.

Current Mood:  lethargic
