I think this is the first time our naming convention has ever been written down?
ReplyDeleteYou've got 2 bent flatsie foursies. I'm not saying you're wrong, because that really is what we would have called them, but it shows some of the weaknesses of our naming system.
Seeing it in print really made me realize our over use of the "sie" ending.
We're also not wonderfully consistent when calling things twosies or foursies. But then again, we were about six when we named everything.
