Silly Grammar Rant - Wolfs, The Movie

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Yes, this is a silly rant so just roll your eyes and read on.

From the time I first saw the trailer for the George Clooney-Brad Pitt film Wolfs, I was bothered by the title.

Wolf is singular. More than 1 wolf is plural which is wolves, not wolfs.

Ack. It seems as if proper grammar continues to lose importance in a world where texting has become the most prominent way of “written” communication.

RULE OF THUMB

The plural of the word wolf is “wolves.” The plural of nouns ending in “f” or “fe” is formed by removing the “f” or “fe” and replacing it with “ves” as seen in “wife” that has the plural of “wives.”

I acually looked up the movie to see if there was an explanation for why it’s named Wolfs rather than Wolves. The title was explained this way: “The title refers to the fact that Pitt and Clooney each play a lone wolf underground type, who performs the sort of unsavory jobs that no one else will.” In the movie lone wolf Clooney and lone wolf Pitt will each gladly take on those nasty jobs.

TAKEAWAY TRUTH
Now you know. By the way, I still don’t like the incorrect plural of Wolfs. It would have made just as much sense for it to be Wolves.

      LOL, for the record – I LOVED your Grammar-Nazi induced Rant!!!!

      LMFAO, George Cloo[less]ney says #BiDUNG stepping down voluntarily was like Washington after his terms
      HERE is the more proper comparison…
      On 31 December 1999, Yeltsin announced his resignation, with his chosen successor, then prime minister Vladimir Putin, succeeding him as acting president who then was elected to his first presidential term following an election held on 26 March 2000.

      YELTSIN was forced out too! If only Yeltsin was even half the Man Gorbachev was we might not be where we are today with Russia as is.

      HAVE PEOPLE FORGOTTEN ALL THAT?!?!? And Thx to George it can/could/should be shared again everywhere with the BiDUNG kamELE comparison!!!

      #Komradala worse than #BiDUNG, #AWALZ worse than #kamELE

      #TrumpVance2024
      #MAGA and #MakeAmericaFreeAgain
      more in….
      #Neighborliness??
      No moron #Waltz (German Socialist, not Polish kind) “One person’s Socialism is [NOT] another’s Neighborliness!”
      THEFT (for redistribution) from Neighbors is NOT Neighborliness….
      #Voluntary #Community (in BIBLE) vs (Harris / #AWALZ (so glad what I started on/via Social-Media now even being used on FOXNEWS)) #Forced #Communism
      – there are big differences!

      So many FAKE #CHRISTIANS warping the #Bible
      The #Scriptures do denote “unwilling” vs “unable” distinctions!
