A Day Of Rest, We Can Blog Away.
Orders slowed down a little this morning, so we have some time to write a fully qualified entry today.
Sometimes work gets busy in the later part of the day, when people get home and click on their mouses. Or more accurately, mice. If the word mouse is used to refer to an electronic device instead of an animal, do the rules of plurality in modifying the word endings also change?
We assume that since the word is a homonym, that pluralizing the word would probably follow the same rule. Unfortunately, when we ran a search for the plural, most of the references we found refer to using the mouse to indicate some picture or activity on the screen, they were not actually definitions.
If your are not confused as we are by this conundrum, please feel free to visit our online store at.
Or visit our featured item of the day which was recently listed. It is a hard to find copy of Jill Jones & The Lone Star Chorale singing some charming cowboy songs in the style of the old Singing Cowboys of old like Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. We listened to it once to check for My-Lynx Associates quality control purposes, and it was so good, we played it again. The Lone Star Chorale may not be a household word but that is not for lack of talent or enthusiasm. We may play some of these sunny tunes again this afternoon to banish our mid-winter fog.
