Royal Wedding Yes or No?

[cantunamunch]

With the LSAT's, it is. You come out of the water blessed or cursed.

Possessed by demons, I think you mean.

Btw, hth do people get "Yanni" from "Laural"?? Not even close.

It's all about high frequency overtones - you have old ears

I don't understand.

Even formally, if we are talking about an aggregate with provably distinct instances why should it not be LSATs? Each one of the contemporaries took an LSAT, but unless they all took the LSAT at the same time, in the aggregate they took LSATs? I don't really see it being significantly different than builds of a given operating system? Different but specific concretes are specified for different engineered uses?

There seems to be something more than a little religious about insistence that provably distinct instances are actually the same. As if it was a baptism rite or something.

Sure, but that isn't how it is always used. "How'd you do on your LSATs?" is asked of one person, who took the test only one time. I'm not defending it one way or the other, just replying that I have heard it.

The. LSAT. I have never heard LSATs.

How did you do on the LSAT?

What is your LSAT score?


LSATs does not make any sense to me.

I wonder if this is a regional thing. If I had to guess, out of the blue, it came out of some weird thing having to do with the medical boards, which are plural. But I don't think you take all the sections at the same time.

SATs, ACTs, MCATs. All of those are in common usage.

  Yeah. They're incorrect in the sense that the acronym is actually singular, but that's how people often say it.

"Our hero, former pot dealer Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), actually "deserves" his chance in a way that his Harvard-educated peers don't: He is so brilliant that he takes the LSATs under false names for money, and must remember to get some answers wrong because too many perfect scores would stir suspicion. He has memorized the major legal encyclopedias and even understands the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. ...." https://www.theatlantic.com/enterta...at-downton-abbey-does-for-aristocrats/267280/

My wife turned it on and I thought no way, but it was actually pretty interesting. I liked all of the vintage English cars dropping off the wedding party and guests.

I'm no lawyer, but always heard LSATs, so it doesn't sound odd to me. Like the SATs or the GMATs, the GREs, and the ACTs. I admit when the GMAT was the ATSGB, that was never pluralized. Maybe if I was a lawyer it would bug me, but I'm not and it sounds like all the others to me.

1 Kid wasn't yawning he was just standing open mouthed with surprise at the trumpet fanfare that had just kicked off - maybe right near him

2 Yanni. But depends on the frequency register you hear best or bias toward

3 LSATs/ LSAT who cares? You guys can't get Maths right and yet coin a plural like bangs to describe a singular feature of a hairstyle so I'm not sure anyone is a reliable witness on use of the plural

How about,
-Trousers
-Pants
-Glasses (for eye glasses)
-Thanks
-Shenanigans
-Clothes
-Scissors
-Amends
-Thanks

All plural

Observation about the Harry & Meghan's wedding. It was the same weekend that the Royals hosted the Yankees. (The Yanks won 2 of the 3.) Someone in Buckingham Palace is a secret MLB fan.

Good one!
Of course the Royals are the upstart commoners in that scenario...
