Listed as plural of goosefoot - is it really? --Connel MacKenzie 19:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Google search turns up both goosefoots and goosefeet with roughly equal frequency. My own books tend to use the scientific name of the plant, so I don't have any print examples of the plural for the common name (at least that I can find). --EncycloPetey 20:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- The Random House gives only goosefoots as the plural of the plant called goosefoot. I think the feet of geese will be written in two words: goose feet. —Stephen 20:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- The plural goosefoots is also used on Wikipedia: "Chenopodium is a genus of about 150 species of flowering plants, known generically as the Goosefoots." —Stephen 20:20, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Plenty of b.g.c. cites. --Enginear 22:38, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
