Geeze, ya'd tink the weekend would have intervened!!!
The instructions are simple...

And yea, I s'pose you could say I was a 'finning agent' too!!
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

I go away from the net for the weekend, and such quality pedantry is perpetrated in the absence of my perusal! Ahh, so much erudition to absorb into my mondazed mind.
Some of us were. Anyhow, one needs something to muse upon when waiting at the lights, or on a long, boring straight...
IMHO: Pluralising non-English adopted words in the way intended by their originating language makes their etymological origins obvious (Is this so bad?), and often makes them easier to say - radii instead of radiuses. It just looks better. There may be counter-examples of course...C'mon - 'tis no harder than irregular verbs FFS.
As for:Ahh, yes. In the same genre is 'Courts-martial'. People aren't thinking about which words they are pluralising. People not thinking...curse of the modern age really(That makes me sound positively old myself...oh dear...pass me the walking-stick and slippers...)
As for the fining process - I far prefer the non paper-based variety...

[QUOTE=idb]Mine is at present, however given the 28+ degree heat and the fact I don't have work today I am attempting to send it to its ruin by quaffing copious quantities of DBs finest cold beverage....

No, I'm sure there's some rule somewhere that prevents me from being drunk at work.
I never get drunk really SD. It's just an act so I can fit in with the crowd.

Hmmm, really surprised no one has picked up on my spurious pluralisation:
I do think the sensory overload engendered by this thread has been too much for our scholars. Either that or people just "switch off" when they see it was posted by me...
Of course, the alert would instantly know the above quote is a load of crap.
The plural of "Dominatrix" should, of course, be "Dominatrices"...
Edit: Oops, sorry, returning to topic in the midst of a highjack...
