                  Does does mean more than one? While it's correct, it makes no sense!

                      APB... Grammar police strike again, after a lull. There was even a TBH post regarding there lack of sightings. So be warned they're back.

                        You could treat it like this....
                        Syllabus....syllabuses....syllabi. All would be correct with the greek plural being the most accepted version. Now, that would mean we would have to put an i at the end...Doei or Doi...not to be confused with Doa. For that matter, why not just say them doe????

                          Simple search on dictionary.com tells the truth.

                          Not sure why it even matters but just trying to do some edumacating
                          It's "bugging", not "buggin"....

                            I thought it was more black and white then it is. Guess it depends on which dictionary you look at. Sorry about the post, As you were
