English is not larger than chomsky since chomsky speaks more than English.

I don't believe English permits pluralization of "gossip."
This in connection with D. Ritchie:
"I might now compare and contrast Sara Maitland, "Gossip from the Forest,"
with Thomas Keneally, "Gossip from the Forest"".
I would argue that English is larger than Chomsky and that we can say (and even
implicate) that Ritchie implicates his self into comparing and contrasting
"Gossips from the Forest". He therefore compares and contrasts gossips from the
forests.
Cfr.
"I might now compare gossips from the forests".
"Ritchie compares and contrasts Maitland's Gossip from the Forest with
Keneally's Gossip from the Forest. Vide: Ritchie, Gossips from the Forests.
'Gossip' is a godly noun and polytheists should be free to pluralise it?
(I'm less sure about forests).
Cheers,
