ScissorS
/From The Washington Post’s story entitled Fun Facts About Our English Language:
Are there any words that exist only as a plural?
There are quite a few, including scissors, binoculars and tongs.
I mention this because Elysha only refers to scissors as a scissor.
This was fine pre-Clara, but now that we have a little one listening to our every word, I feel that our obligation for proper grammar has increased considerably. I can only hope that she take this into account and modifies her unfortunate backwater verbiage.
