Report on Twitter says that singer Whitney Houston has died at 48.
Whitney Houston -- Dead at 48 | TMZ.com
Terribly sad,she had a great voice.
R.I.P.

So... it's probably too soon, but of course the Internets have gotten very creative with the announcements of Ms Houston's death. Crack is a helluva drug:

We made this!

The way I see it, if you fall asleep in the bath you’re probably taking really strong sleeping medication… like every other Hollywood A-lister. I just can’t believe we have to wait 8 weeks to find out which one she took.

Can/ does Internet have a plural?

Can/ does Internet have a plural?

Colloquially, yes. Probably not in proper English..

 

[serfty]

By its very nature "internet" cannot really have a plural. Of course you can for the various standalone networks out there.

Wow - that's really saying something!

Them's fightin' words!

 

[Nigelinoz]

Sounds like a good business idea-a mobile service for people who need DVD's installed,tv's tuned,ikea furniture assembled etc,
and the staff needed would work cheaply because I would hire an army of teenagers and pay them in Mcdonalds and iTunes vouchers:!::mrgreen:.

As a proper noun, no. But as a collective name for a connected networks beyond an intranet, probably yes.

The Queen : the queens of Europe. The Internet: The internets of OW, *A and skyteam.

Thank you notzac - at least you and Nigelinoz answered nicely. You aren't thinking of attending the Flyertalk Do at BNE QP on Saturday 3PM?

I'm northside whereas I know where you're likely to be staying.

Perhaps payment in airline stuff (have an EK cap & polo shirt)
