Reason #344 Why I Hate the English Language

Today at work someone asked the correct spelling of the plural form of the word bus. We all looked at each other and shrugged. One s or two? We all thought one. Mind you, we are a group of teachers.

So we pull out good 'ol Webster's Dictionary for a consultation. Turns out either one is correct. According to Webster's, Buses and busses are both correct plural forms of bus.

AAAARRRG!


*** however, when I run the Blogger spellchecker, it tells me that busses is misspelled. humph.
