Welcome, Wibbly Wordsters 
One Mouse , Two Mice; One House, Two… Hice?
Plurals in English are pretty simple, aren’t they? You just add an ‘s’ to the noun, don’t you?
one pig 
– two pigs 
;
one cow 
– three cows 
.
You get the idea. Easy. Umm… except when it isn’t!
This poem gives you an idea of just how crazy English plurals can be… 🤪
One hippopotamus, two… hippopotamuses?
Hippopotami?
Or just hippos?
You tell I!
Discussion of each Hotch (or Potch) will take place in the Facebook Group HERE, where you can meet our fun founding members.
Please join and get involved – you can comment on the latest Hotch Potch article and of course contribute your own favourite linguistic legends. I can’t wait to read you!
Happy Hotching (or Potching)
