bilby commented on the list problematic-plurals
I was in a furniture shop yesterday, a bit by accident. While I was there it occurred to me to have a look at something to put my feet on. So I turned to the clerk and said, "Excuse me, do you have any ... ottomen?" It sounded silly when I said it. I turned it over in my head and realised that ottomans might have been a tiny bit better, though still awkward.
