Surely it goes:

mongoose > mongooses > mongeese > mongoze > mongoosen

Each one more plural than the last.

I try to slip “octopodes” into casual conversation whenever I possibly can.

User bcsizemo has been given a timeout for spreading Covid-19 FUD.

I’ve said this before, but the BBS is not the place to sow doubt about COVID-19 mitigation measures when so many aren’t taking basic steps to begin with because they believe it a hoax. If that clear, bright line isn’t acceptable to you. Post elsewhere, please.

How you manage to deliver this calmly is beyond my understanding.

I probably would promise bodily harm IRL by now.

Chapeau.

User dontpanicbobby has been given a brief timeout for using racist stereotypical names for COVID-19 because they “like it”.

The pandemic isn’t a game, it isn’t funny, and enough people aren’t taking it seriously already. Casual racism is still racism, even if you find it funny, too.
