Subject: RE: BS: words that are hard to spell
interesting, nobody (except me) spelled 'fridge with an apostrophe.

Common usage - ditto with 'flu - who bothers with the ' nowadays

Interestingly I pluralize walk through in ceilidh discussions reasoning that walk should follow the courts marshal and brigadiers general rules. In that we do a lot of walking and through doesn't pluralise. But some callers disagree. And they have the mic.
