What I find is increasingly common is for journalists to be quoting what people post on twitter.
Quote: That prompted Mr McCain to tweet again, saying: "Re: Iran space tweet - lighten up folks, can't everyone take a joke?"
Whoopee! Who cares. Tell me something interesting about the story - do some journalism rather than fill your word count repeating twits from twitter.

You're talking about a man who came from a poor family, who through hard work made something of his life, and was elected by the people (not the suits that run the money markets) of his country to high office.

Shakespeare's okay. We know he had it in for Richard III. It was a master stroke burying him under concrete in a car park. That explains why the Mafia liked to bury their victims under football stadiums and freeways - allegedly.

I think patents should be withdrawn and no longer be in use regarding technology, the level of misuse has gone way past just taking the piss.
Either that or some kind of body setup regarding patents to do with technology, but then again, I imagine they would soon be in the pockets of the big companies.

I just noticed the authors email. For a moment I thought it said nvarchar@..., looked again and noticed it's nvarchaver@.... Appearently the authors name is Nicholas Varchaver.
I didn't read the (entire) article by the way. Someone should make a movie about him and then I'll watch it.

I know you can in some cases refer to varities of cheese (havarti, cheddar) as "cheeses", but can you refer to varities of deer (Philippine, white-tailed) as "deers"?
I can't seem to find any references to this usage. Dear me!
|
|
|
|

The plural of Cheese is either "Cheese" or "Cheeses" depending on context.
The plural of "Deer" is Deer" - that's it.
However, if the singular of "Teeth" is "Tooth" and "Geese", "Goose" and "Feet", "Foot; why isn't the singular of "Sheep", "Shoop"?

I know what you mean. I have figured that because Australians are from Australia, Candians must be from Canadia. However, there seem to be very few who have come to this same conclusion.

Maybe it depends on who you ask...
The plural deers is listed in some dictionaries.

As a developer whose first language is not English, this really f***s with my life

That's ok - all the other plurals are consistent and easy to work out:
One Mouse, two Mice.
One House, two Houses
One Bow, two Bows.
One Cow, two Kine.
One Datum, two Data.
One Cactus, two Cacti.
One Genius, two Geniuses, or two Genii.
One Formula, two Formulae
One Elf, two Elves.
One Wife, two Wives And A Prison Sentence.

No, no, just borrowed.
Anyway, we let them, Johnny Foreigner that is, use English words for free all the time!
Good English words and phrases like:

- et al
- per diem
- coup d'etat
- wagon

- curriculum vitae
- the

One of them, yes: http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=kine[^]
It's an archaic form, not used today except in CCCs. "Cows" is the more common usage.

Reading through your profile, I have noticed this bit of linguistic ambiguity:
Now lives in the United States where he is happily married with one son
Couldn't find a wife and had to marry one son instead?

"with" one son, not "to" one son!

Hey, it's nothing to be ashamed of, so long as that son is old enough. At least you aren't married with children!

|
|

Yes, just the one children! Oh damn, what's the singular for that again?
