Anyone as ever wonder why "defense" is pronounced differently depending on whether one is talking about the military or football? This just occurred to me today. WTF?
I could careless. I before E except after C and other exceptions. The word " card " couldn't exist anywhere else.
Y'all mis-spell lots of things, though. Favour, colour,.. and don't even get me started on aluminium.
I had a Chinese co worker at a composite shop that said foams (referring to multiple pieces of foam) I had to explain to him some plural and singular words are the same... like deer.
Depends on whether you're talking about a buncha deer from the same species or deers of different species-es. Same with fish/fishes and, I guess, you might include foams when referencing different types or dimensions? - Neil deGrasse Tyson school of astrogrammar.
