Am I the only person in the world that struggles with spelling the plural of 1/8 as “eighths?” Maybe it’s the five consonants in a row with multiple H’s that throws me. It’s almost Welsh-like. If you’ve never seen Welsh, it is a thing unto itself. For example:
John 3:16 (English)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Ioan 3:16 (Welsh)
Canys felly y carodd Duw y byd fel y rhoddodd efe ei unig-anedig Fab, fel na choller pwy bynnag a gredo ynddo ef, ond caffael ohono fywyd tragwyddol.

Thank you. I find language fascinating. There are times that I make serious posts about it. This one was just for fun. I am a huge Scrabble addict. I came across “eighths” in a game and I looked at it, cocked my head to the side, and wondered it if was really spelled that way.
