That was a fun read.

JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT. MUCH JOY HAS BEEN BROUGHT AND, DARE I SAY, WROUGHT.

What was it?

So the desired response is, “What is “what is up dog?”?”?

Is that why they use tú for God?

What a glorious description.

My bad. Yeah, it’s interesting that we don’t seem to know why English calls it “mango” when every other language calls it “manga” or something else ending with the “-a”.

I accept “mangoes” because of the English rule that nouns that end in a consonant followed by a vowel should be padded with another vowel (“e”) before the “-s”. Another example I can think of off the top of my head is “heroes”, not “heros”.

However, I also accept “mangos” because it feels right. Wiktionary says “mango” is Portuguese, and I don’t know Portuguese, but at least in Spanish you don’t pluralize with “-es”, just “-s”.
