Beretta06 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 'Grice' - it is a plural of the word 'grouse'. Here is a quick English lesson on plurals - not mine but it was taught at my school :-) Now if mouse in the plural should be, and is, mice, Then house in the plural, of course, should be hice, And grouse should be grice and spouse should be spice And by the same token should blouse become blice. And consider the goose with its plural of geese; Then a double caboose should be a cabeese, And noose should be neese and moose should be meese And if mama's papoose should be twins, it's papeese. Then if one thing is that, whilst some more is called those, Then more than one hat, I assume is called hose, And gnat would be gnose and pat would be pose, And likewise the plural of rat would be rose. Don't you just love the English language :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciltalgarth Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Think you'll find there grouse. When you go shooting on a grouse day it's a grouse day not grice day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
