Beavers Galore! Here is a quick little thought to ponder on.

Why is it that when we reference something that has a quantity of zero, we state it in the plural form? For example, we would say “There are no beavers in that river.” Does the S on beavers not imply more then one beaver? It should, but there are no beavers. Yet we still talk about them as if there are beavers galore. Just a thought.

    I am looking for some beavers too, but it seems to be that there are no beaver around. Beaver is plural without the SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
