How did the pronunciation of the word “derby” evolve? I have never heard a brit say der-bee. FWIW I used to live on the Derbyshire/Yorkshire border. Oh and yes, I never even thought about it, but the same thing does happen with Berkeley: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTeiYN_Vq6E |

Why does American English pluralize certain singular nouns? I probably wasn't clear enough. But when I hear "a savings" in the US, it's in the context of a price reduction. Ie the amount you saved compared to the original price. I'm not sure if I've heard it in the context of money saved in the bank or not. |

Why does American English pluralize certain singular nouns? I'd say winnings but never "a winnings". |

Why does American English pluralize certain singular nouns? That's interesting. It never occurred to me that it conveyed emphasis. I've actually lived in a few different parts of England (predominantly the north), so I'm relatively sure that this usage is not widespread, if it exists at all. |

Why does American English pluralize certain singular nouns? I think my use of "such and such" ( answers.com/topic/such-and-such ) is confusing my question, I've changed it. |

Why does American English pluralize certain singular nouns? I think I confused people with "such and such" as an expression and had it badly corrected. |
