To be totally truthful now, Stiwell, there are a million things you could slip past me without my noticing them. Like elephants, rhinoceros, and hummers blaring Hiphop music.
Oh, your talking about the word for a hippo herd. I would just use "pod". "Bloat" sounds better though, especially for hippos. But if I was to use "plethora" simply to describe "many" hippos, would the predicate be "is" or "are"?

ReplyDeleteIs the recent trend in posting your way of saying where you stand on the "One Picture" vs. "One Thousand Words" question?
I can't make anything slip past you, can I? It's something I just have to do -*said in melodramatic tone*- and I don't know why. lol.

But not hippopotamuses?

ReplyDeleteI was going to name them until I came up against my insane compulsion to write the plural as "hippopotami." So I switched to hummers.
But yes, you could get a whole bloat of hippos past me, too. I'd be too busy squinting at all the little bugs on its back.
There are a plethora of hippopotami?

ReplyDeleteWell, British English or American English?
Is "plethora" British? I use "bloat," but it's probably American.

ReplyDeleteI guess British English.
