Plurals

The cartoon says 'Albatross were blah blah' and I immediately think 'Hang on, is that the plural', and then look down to the author's note below, which says... 'The plural of "albatross" is "albatross" or "albatrosses."' It's worrying when someone can anticipate you that well.

You dont know me and I am not spam. Really I am from Russia, St Petersburg. Just saw your page and answered to your last post. Is it ok?

LOL. In which case I apologise; of course, you're very welcome! I was just surprised, because most people who browse here come from a friend of a friend.

Also, I didn't quite understand your comment: are you talking about belief in the albatross legend, or what?

PS. How *did* you find me? It doesn't matter, I'm just curious.

it was not difficult, I just saw the link "280 posts were published this minute" and I click it and saw a lot of strange posts, but I were looking for someone I will understand. I saw a lot of posts on russian, but it was very strange, after I found yous and understood it. And that was the reason why I tald about believe and about magic) I my case it was humor, but how you could guess that I've read 30 posts before I found someone new and understandible! Normaly I read only my freind's list;)sorry for my pour english, but it should be a little bit better when your russian:)
