Don et al,
According to my "Nuttall's Standard Dictionary of the
English Language"
published about 100 years ago, the plural of goose
is indeed geese. Group term for geese in flight is
SKEIN. Group term
for geese on the ground is GAGGLE.
Now see if anyone here knows what the term is for a group
of
CAPERCAILZIES is !!!
The book shows no plural for TORTOISE.
Happy New Year,
Jerry
Jerry is just grousing.
