This week a word puzzle:
Which plural noun in the English language becomes singular when you add an s?
As ever, please feel free to gloat in the comments section below.. Answers after the snake
Bit of a controversial one this one. So far I have found 4 nouns which fit the above description. They are:
Princes/Princess
Bras/Brass
Millionaires/Millionaress
Billionaire/Billionairess
Any others?
Controversial because of the possibilities with cockles and prickles?
