  no need to imagine lah, the worst is when someone tried to put in some humor but cracking some local jokes, don't understand so don't know to laugh or not to laugh

  interesting question, I had always thought its a definite article as in The Truth (so maybe its singular)

  in fact there is no such word as fishes, or so originally
  
  fish is singular as well as plural

  not counting this present one. 3. This would be my fourth one. Have not settled it yet. Still negotiating for the TV. IF it cant be OEM retrofitted, i am pushing for the alpine in car entertainment system that they offer in the accessories department.

  Good morning
  Just settle the paper work for my new car, expected delivery 1st week of Nov.
  
  Must really thank God for favor.
  
  Price within my budget, reasonable amount of freebies.
  
  The best of this deal is that I get to scrap my car early (save almost 2K), and I get to have a temp car provided free of charge till the new car arrived.
