There's something inexact in the comparison with the French version. In the French version, the time is 45' for numbers but only 30' for letters ; that should be changed in the article. And in the case of a draw at the end of a game, a "conundrum" (though it is not called that name) is played to break the draw. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.7.253.141 (talk • contribs) 21:48, 2 March 2009

Why is "mankinds" invalid despite being in the dictionary? -- smjg 20:07, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

I hadn't realised how long this question nobody's been able to answer has been there. And as I look now, MANKINDS is not listed. Furthermore, it said "some plurals of mass nouns" which is, in and of itself, a contradiction in terms as a mass noun by definition has no concept of a plural. If you say "three coffees" then you are not pluralising the mass noun "coffee" - you are pluralising the count noun "coffee" that is implicitly derived from the mass noun. So talking of "plurals of mass nouns" is like talking about "past tenses of adjectives".

If I'm wrong and the dictionary indeed lists some word as being a plural of a mass noun, please post a link to it here. — Stewart (talk) 00:38, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
