Re: Mannum's recent storm
"ROOVES"???Trees have fallen onto at least three houses, and a couple more are missing rooves, due to the strong wind that buffeted the Murraylands on Monday.
Are they any relation to cows' feet?
AARRGH! Do we still teach English in schools? They obviously don't in Uni journalism courses!
Regards & God bless,

Re: Mannum's recent storm
I suspect that I was taught "rooves".
I just checked.
Rooves as a plural for of roof is dated, but not incorrect. The Oxford English Dictionary lists “rooves” as an alternate to roofs,
Thank God for that - at least I didn't get the cuts from Sister Persecutor for nothing!
