Subject: Re: Friday Prospects: PATHETIC Author: Big Pimpin' [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:42:22 07/19/02 Fri In reply to: allycat 's message, "Re: Friday Prospects: PATHETIC" on 08:55:12 07/19/02 Fri Just saying it's hoes without an explanation will not do. Comparing it to other words that use es to make them plural is not very convicing either since the overwhelming majority of words in the English language are pluarlized by adding either an s or es. I want you to explain to me how I am supposed to be able to tell by looking at the word, not context, whether the author is referring to a hooker or a garden tool! By the way I totally agree with you on your take on hearing from women. If all of the women in the world would time their presence and not over use it the world would be a better place. Not to come off as a total male chauvinist but I agree with you women talk too much! You should start a revolution. Girls it's time to Shut Up!

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Friday Prospects: PATHETIC Author: allycat [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:20:43 07/19/02 Fri There is no black/white rule for adding an s to words that end in o. Some use -s and some use -es. USUALLY you can look at the consonant preceding the o and make an assumption. Most -to words add an e. While most -lo words do not. The only -ho word to work with and compare it to is echo, which adds an e to the plural, echoes. The English language isn't perfect that's why you can look at the word "read" and not know if it is past or present tense without looking at the rest of the sentence. Sometimes, context has to be used to decipher what a word really is. And you may think that I am offended by your comments on women shutting up, but I halfway agree with you, I'm not a women's lib kinda girl and MOST problems or fights I have ever had with anybody has come around due to some chick talking too much. But it's not specific to Females. And you men wouldn't have a clue about many important aspects of life if you didn't have us whispering in your ears. If we shut-up, men would be walking around like those little mechanical monkeys with the cymbals bumping into walls until your batteries ran out.
