Only in a restaurant is an invoice for monies due termed a "check."

If the plural of "mouse" is "mice", pluralize "house" and "spouse". (That

So were we actually better off in the days before cats on car exhausts, when
we just poisoned the air with CO and assorted hydrocarbons and oxides of

engines do, and don't have cats on them, how come they now seem to put out
so much CO2 that the global warming brigade see it as a big issue ? d;~}
