Dear Answerers,

Yesterday we were making nouns plural and came across “circus.” We were reviewing the add -es rules, and that works fine for “circuses.” But there’s also a rule that nouns ending in -us get changed into an -i, like cacti. And “circi” also works. And some people even love to add an extra -s before the -es and make it “circusses.” 

It just goes to show you: the word that we should always make sure we’re writing in plural form is “answers.” Because there is always more than one.

And though you’ll probably never have to pluralize circus again in your lives (who goes to more than one circus in a day?) you will find questions with more than one answer every single day.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
