Hear this blunder from a newcaster!

Thursday, April 21, 2016

 Just this afternoon, during the mid-day news hour of a popular local TV station, I heard the newscaster say: "...all the cattles of the herdsmen". I just couldn't stop to imagine why that newscaster would think that the word "cattle" can take on 's'.
 Sorry, it's never so! The word cattle is a non-count noun, used in the generic sense to refer to cows. It must not take on 's' in any case, whatsoever. The expression should have been "...all the cattle of the herdsmen."



 Noted?
