Subject: [HSS] Re: Is It a '28 Landau?
Since my dubious expertise was invoked by Peter, I shall offer my
opinion. I only ask that all who read it place a value on it
(opinion) equal to the amount that you were charged. The plural or
landau is neither landaus...nor is it landai....nor even
landa....That is my story and I am sticking with it. Seems to me
that, if the landaus in question are Hudsons, it should be pluralized
as follows: "Hudsons of the Landau body style"...this cleverly
avoids any references to Greek or Latin and almost completely evades
English (as I managed to do in High School). I rest my case.
