Why can’t we have nice things : (

[Orgfiller]

NY can suck a fat one

 

He was safe dude lol.

[Orgfiller]

As the son of a feller that has been a Leaf's fan since the 60's, it's Leaf's.

 

Well it definitely isn't "Leaf's" lol.

[Spanky99]

One more, bruh.

[fatcowxlive]

He was safe dude lol.

 

Yeah I know, I'm just salty

You’re not going to change his mind. He doesn’t care what they are actually called. He thinks it’s grammatically incorrect and he’s right on that point.

[AledmysDiaz]

Gavigilio already looks better than half of our starters

I never disputed that.

[Jonn]

Its really nice to have fans in the ballpark tonight. Really depressing watching games with nobody in the seats. I couldn’t imagine being a Rays fan.

[Orgfiller]

Nice job Gaviglio.

[Effit]

Nice!

[Spanky99]

History has it that Conn Smythe named the team after the Maple Leaf badge worn by soldiers in the Canadian Army during World War I.

 

So, to follow Chambers’s lesson that proper nouns take regular plurals, more than one Maple Leaf badge would be referred to as Maple Leafs. By that same token, two Maple Leaf players are referred to as Maple Leafs, not Maple Leaves. That is how we get the Toronto Maple Leafs, who play host to the Capitals for Game 3 at 7 p.m. Monday.

 

Other examples of proper nouns taking regular pronouns (provided by Chambers and annotated by The Post):

 

• A stack of Life Magazine editions would be a stack of “Lifes” (regular plural) instead of “Lives” (irregular plural).

[fatcowxlive]

Alford gonna walk it off for us and go on a tear to win the Rookie of the Year award

 

U heard it here first

[AledmysDiaz]

Sale should come back out

[Spanky99]

No he isn't.

Is Ohhtani dead in this fantasy scenario?

[Carlos Danger]

LGJ redeems himself with game winning hit...

[Jonn]

No he isn't.

 

Shut up Spanky. I don’t need your s*** tonight yah bike.

[fatcowxlive]

Is Ohhtani dead in this fantasy scenario?

 

No but Alford learns to pitch in my fantasy scenario and throws a no hitter

[Spanky99]

Shut up Spanky. I don’t need your s*** tonight yah bike.

 

K.............. definition above.

[jaysguy44]

K.............. definition above.

 

You the man Spank. Thanks

Oh, I'm sure that all the people who are laughing at the fact that the Leaves don't know how to spell are well aware of their history. You know, the history of being named after some incredibly obscure army ********, especially when there's no indication anywhere that this is the case. The logo is just a leaf.

 

But it's ok. Continue living in your dream world where spelling things correctly is just an inconvenience.

Hahahaha

[doobzacheria]

As someone who's been speaking English my entire life, it's leaves.

 

I agree with you. Except in the context of the team. Which is a name and so becomes a proper noun, rather than a regular one. And so normal pluralization is not upheld. And to be honest, I always call them the Maple Laughs. Sadly, as an Oiler's fan, I've nothing to laugh about.

[Boxcar]

I can't wait until fall starts again. I love how all the leafs change colour.

[Abomination]

Granderson really needs to start playing against some lefties too (non-elite ones at any rate, keep him the hell away from guys like Sale). We really need more of his ability to work the count.

History/loyalty and tact is a thing. Something you're unaware of. I said good day.

[Orgfiller]

Luke Maile is amazing.

[jaysguy44]

Leafs are dumb though, I agree with you Box. It's ok to be wrong sometimes

[AledmysDiaz]

Ummm ugh bad luck Pompey
