I finally decided that, since it is by nature a plural, I'm doing Mr. Multitude rather than the plural. I've done it both ways. I'm an indecisive creature, painfully so! Does that make sense or is it a bit wonky?
You are likely correct about the pluralness. But I ain't no linguist. Maybe I "heard" Bob Dylan singing something about containing multitudes. I think "Mr. Multitude" is superior. Besides, I wouldn't have had to pause and think about an apostrophe immediately preceding a closing quotation mark. Decisiveness is what I usually end up regretting after I say something I shouldn't have. Indecisiveness is thoughtfulness!
I may have changed my mind again. hahaha Maybe it should be Mr. Muchness. haha Mr. Mucho. Mr. MoreThan. Mr. Many Man. Mr. Many Men. Okay. I'll stop.
I'm kind of a word mongering linguist, but perfection has escaped me. And then there's Old Timers' Brain Crunch. It's a faux cereal that eats words and letters. Indecisiveness is a curse, as is overthinking.... I'm guilty of being Indecisive and over-thinkful, and guilty of making up words. The dungeon awaits! Yikes!!!!
Lovely piece, Linda. You write so well. And Leaving Time is so deserving. ✌️
Thanks, Denise! I was inspired! There's a lot more I could say, but......
What a lovely write-up, Ms. Pootinella. I had to look up "coruscate." There were a couple more that evaded me; I gave no chase.
Ain't it great to have "Mr. Multitudes'" offerings and camaraderie? Ha lay loo ya!
Thanks, Peter! Mine's a love song too.
