  How do all the Dive feel about forming plurals properly?

Divot, Bufon... What language are *you* using?  (:-)

I already got mail on this... let me see...

    I considered carefully, and laid a trap.  Each Diva has a name, and
    only one name.  Each Diva would be pleased if you spelled her name
    correctly.  All Divas would be pleased if you spelled their name
    correctly.  A multiple personality Diva would be pleased if you
    spelled her names correctly.  (:-)

    "All the Divas dig it if you wipe their nose correctly."  Noses
    would be plural and correct, but implies an interchangeability to
    the noses, or the names.  Since the names are not fungible, I chose
    the construction I did.
