But "deer: is the plural of deer — not “deers.”

Can anyone see this? Please respond.

Regarding Vincent van Gogh, I feel Don McLean (or Josh Groban covering him) coming on.

Say what now, Templo?

Speaking of finding mythical creatures in yards, does anyone else here believe in gnomes?

About ten years ago, I saw what was supposed to be the largest T-rex fossil, named Sue, at the Chicago Field Museum.

T-rex mostly in No. America? Well, too bad—-the killer asteroid hit right below North America, off Yucatan.

Vinnie couldn’t afford that much for supplies during the first 10 years of his artistic life.

People say government doesnt care but whoever wrote back to this child should get a raise.

Those portraits were hung in empty halls.

If the plural of “mouse” is “mice”, why isn’t the plural of “house” actually “hice”?

Yes but me fossils will be found in London, they will. ~ Marc Bolan

Take care, may famed unicorn whisperer George “Ask Me No Questions I’ll Tell You No Lies” Santosord be with you, and gesundheit.

Uh… why, what are people using instead for “fishes”?

Bless the official who wrote that license.

so i fishes for fishes…and sound like Popeye

Octopi or octopuses also.

Hmm, and all this time, I thought Van Gogh only produced old paintings during the last ten years of his life…

(◔_◔)

To anyone who fishes for fishes – my compliments.

“Come with me and I will make you fishes of men.”

I know that’s wrong. I was making a joke! It’s supposed to be “fissures.”

Ha! Another joke!

Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea; joy to you and me!

Fishes is only correct under certain circumstances. Fish can refer to multiple fish, especially when they are all the same species of fish. However, fishes usually refers to multiple species of fish, especially in scientific contexts. If you say fishes in normal conversation expect people to look at you funny.

My offering for today: You don’t need a parachute to go skydiving. You need one to go skydiving twice.

the “T” in “T-rex” stands for “train”.

So, Van Gogh was cranking out a new painting every 4 days? Impressive!

Is there a way Vincent could have turned out any OLD paintings during that time? DUHHH!!

I always thought it was…
