Is the "Bernard Shaw" joke spelling of "psoloquoise" worth mentioning on the entry? That is, "ps" (psychology) + "olo" (colonel) + "qu" (bouquet) + "oise" (tortoise.) It seems to get a few b.g.c. hits, but is it worth mentioning? If so, where, in a ===Trivia=== section? --Connel MacKenzie 22:48, 14 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

circusses

[edit]

circusses is not grammatically correct --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:33, 4 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Backinstadiums: The claim that it is not grammatically correct is absurd. It has been used since at least 1590. Compare busses, etc. J3133 (talk) 10:46, 4 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
