The Canadian lexicon, according to this source, believes beer can be both singular and plural. However in other cultures it is not.
Is that to say the sport we love to watch is not "hockey" but indeed "ice hockey"?
Is the largest sporting event in the world the World Cup of Soccer or the World Cup of Football?
So it appears that the plural of beer is both beer and beers, either is acceptable in the Country of Canada, or should it be the Nation of Canada, Dominion of Canada, Great White North, God's Country?
And thus ends the great beer debate of 2007  |
I hope so, the entire board has been on edge everytime they post anything with the word 'beer' in it, being afraid to trigger the wrath of the various grammar nazis lurking about.
Feel free friends, and use the term 'beer' or 'beers' with impugnity!

....and its the Football World Cup, and I prefer the great white North.
