“vinyls”

The plural of vinyl is vinyl.

But what is the plural of mongoose.
Is it Mongoose, Mongooses, Mongeese?

You’ve seen me out and about then?!

I pretty much wear shorts and flip-flops from February to October.

Even when kicking off on Wembley Way?

Pedants.
Especially ones on this forum who love to nitpick.

What do you mean nitpick? Explain your interpretation of the term and follow that up please, by running by us, who died and made you the unelected arbitrar of what constitutes nitpicking? ;)

I broadly approve of pedants, as we should try to get things right. There is far too much misinformation about and it breeds ignorance.

For example, I don't like 'Lady Anne Dodd' being described as such. Unless she is the daughter of a duke, marquis or earl (which she is not) she is either Anne, Lady Dodd or Lady Dodd.

How on earth people expect to send out correctly worded invitations when they don't understand such basics I cannot comprehend.
