Butter sauce or cocktail sauce....?
That is my only question!
Not necessarily. My preference is to use “shrimps” when I mean to enumerate a discrete quantity, and shrimp solely as a collective noun, but both “shrimps” and “shrimp” are acceptable plurals.
In this case, I think the author uses “shrimps,” because he is speaking of multiple populations of shrimp, just as one might use “sands.”
No problem, FRiend.
Sometimes my jokes are pretty lame. (LOL!)
Down here in the south, it’s pronounced, swumps.
it looks like it ate several baby dinosaurs and a few cockroaches.
Nevertheless, these shrimps are lost in the sands of times./s
:-)
LOL!
One don’t count...Let’s see 2 or more of ‘em...
ANYTIME ANYONE starts a story with Millions and Millions of year ago ya know a young earther will show up and hijack the thread.
Or maybe the paper mache art project from Kindergarden???
That would be an excellent work of art from a Kindergarten student. I only wrapped paper mache around an empty salad dressing container.
Yes, the plural of shrimp is shrimp. As is deer, deer.
Thank you for agreeing!
Ever since I announced my little bit of grammatical heresy, I have been eating a steady diet of worms.
Not NEARLY as tasty as SHRIMP, although the right sauce can make ever worms taste good.
