Maybe it’s the blue yogurt they like. My mind isn’t very dependable these days. For example, I have lost count of the number of times I have typed the secret code into the URI box and then spent many minutes scratching my head. Hmmm. Maybe it’s the blue yogurt they like.

I just thought it was a tupo. And 'Two serieses are completed in the exact time of a lunation’ - Sounds like an equinox gone mad. The blue jello? My grandbabies love it! Geesh.

And ‘Two serieses are completed in the exact time of a lunation’ - Sounds like an equinox gone mad.

The blue jello? My grandbabies love it!

Brit. "These different heights of tide are observed to succeed each other in a regular series... This series is completed in about 15 days... Two serieses are completed in the exact time of a lunation." 1730, A. Gordon, Maffei's Amphith. "Among the many and particular Series's collected by him, he has 800 Medals of Colony's, 1500 Greek Coins, and 1200 Egyptian." 1889, Pall Mall Gaz.

I never noticed before that it didn't look right to me, likely because it's a word I haven't used much in its plural form---for whatever reason. My current novel in progress is the first in a series. So I'd better get used to that word, hadn't I? ;) According to the Random House Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary on my PC, both the singular and plural are spelled “series”—but that doesn’t look right to me.

I've never seen any of the episodes, but I do enjoy good stories. Maybe I should check into those series (serieses). I’ve never seen any of the episodes, but I do enjoy good stories.
