St Johns Wood or St John's Wood?

"penny" is the singular form of "pence", so that "pence" is inherently plural ?! I didn't know that. You learn something every day. In fact, I didn't know that units of measurement *had* plurals ! zero pence, one pence, two pence, .. in the same way as zero centimetre, one centimetre, two centimetre. London and Paris are 211 mile apart, are they? -- James Farrar . @gmail.com |
