Incorrect spelling. It's leaves. "Leaves" is not correct.
Like the Kansas City Cheaves.

Leaf, singular, Leaves, plural.

Start at the 20 min mark, probably the only time Suzuki has said anything sensible.
Incorrect. The leaves aren't named after "Leaves", they're named after a specific army unit. Therefore it's "leaves".
So they are name after a regiment, singular, but used the wrong form of the word for plural........and will be haunted by it for eternity.

"After taking control on Valentine's Day 1927, Smythe immediately renamed the team the Maple leaves. The Maple leaves say that the name was chosen in honour of the Maple Leaf Regiment from World War I;"

Everyone saying "Leaves" is wrong. You don't use plural form on a specific group name.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

There is no plural. You're not getting it.

Well one man's "wrong" is another man's RIGHT FUCKING ON!!! :rockin:

Oxford and Webster follow our lead in these matters.

We at the Corner were the first to coin "nawsome" and "thingydo" and... LOOK AT THEM NOW!!! :rockin:


BLOW LEAVES BLOW!

BLOW LEAVES BLOW!!

BLOW LEAVES BLOW!!!
No they follow my lead actually. Oxford and Webster say I am right.

"As the regiment is a proper noun, its plural is formed by adding a simple 's' creating Maple leaves (not *Maple Leaves)"

The problem is you think they are named after "Maple Leaves", which they are not.

It's actually kind of sad so many thousands say "Leaves" thinking they are correct. Western Canadians. What are you going to do?

Typical pee-brained Torontonian...

We should actually be quite thankful for the leaves...

No matter how bad we think our team has been for it's time in the league, we can't hold a candle to how inconceivably shittier Torontoilets team has been for even longer!

Thanks for making us look good for the past 40+ years...and more than likely the next 40+ :thumbs:
