Singular had' F1straL
It is a question of taste and fancy
whether one should make two bites of
a cherry, but we all really make two
bites of the word. "cherry" when we
use it in the singular. The original
English version of "cerise" was "cher-
is" or ."chiris," which Was mistaken
for a plural, so that “cherr or "chirl"
was soon manUfactured as a singular.
Exactly so has "pea" comerinto
is a .false singillar obtained from the
supposed •plural and true singular
"pease." "Sherry" for "sherds!' is an-
• other ease. and "shay" from "chaise,"
"Chinee" from "Chinese" and "corp"
