	Grammar Geek  #519392  Tue, 27 May 08 03:08 AM If it becomes two syllables in the plural, does that mean that it ends in a -ch, -sh, -z or -s? (Or something similar?) Can you walk inside it? Can you hold it in your hand?    Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Pennsylvania, USA Veteran Member (16,101) Barbara, who answers in American English.

Can you walk inside it? No, I don't think you would ever hear someone say that they walked inside one of these.  Can you hold it in your hand?  No -- although I suppose you could pick up a little bit of it and hold that in your hand.    Yankee

Is there a Bette Midler movie that uses the plural form as a title?    Grammar Geek
