Research vs researches
30 May 2007 23:19:13 -0700
You will often hear that the word "research" is uncountable in the
U.S., but it seems that I find the word "researches" as a countable

Thanks.

'Niss' or 'Nis'
Sat, 26 May 2007 13:56:31 +0100
I encountered this word while watching a late sixties tv drama.
It was used in the sense of calling someone a bad name as in 'you niss!'.
The only word like that I can find refers to Swedish goblins of a friendly
nature (or similar) which would not seem to fit.
Is this a pre-existing word or simply one coin ...
