Jan, what is your rule about plurals?

Thanks for joining Jonquil & Chris!

ChrisGA wrote: "Jan, what is your rule about plurals?"

Chris - I will accept variations of the word (including plurals) UNLESS it states no variation after the word in the original list.

Great, thanks.

QUESTION ... Will you take "snow-topped" for snow-capped? The reference is definitely to mountains.

Yes BC - I'll take it if you are unable to find the other and if it is referring to mountains. Since we are early in the hunt, do keep your eyes out for the other though.

Jan wrote: "Yes BC - I'll take it if you are unable to find the other and if it is referring to mountains. Since we are early in the hunt, do keep your eyes out for the other though."

Thanks, Jan .... I'll keep searching but put this in as a place holder.

So, in the book I'm reading the author uses many Italian words in the mostly English text. One of these words is laguna for lagoon. May I use laguna? until maybe I find lagoon - I'll keep looking of course.
