Travesty

Am I the only one who cringes at the use of millenniums as the pluralization of millennium? I saw it in a news article today, and had to look it up, because I would have SWORN it was an incorrect usage. Turns out it's acceptable, but ... ngh. It still bothers me, the same way it bothers me when people say genuses instead of genera.

AHAHAHAHAHA.

elisel: Just got a memo. "In observance of the birthdays of Robert E. Lee and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a legal holiday for employees of the State of Mississippi has been proclaimed for Monday, January 15, 2007."

demonlet: OH MISSISSIPPE

demonlet: you make me laugh so hard I misspell you.

elisel: Note that General Lee comes before Dr. King

demonlet: Of course.
