    This raises an important issue that has been troubling me for some time: the plural of moose. Wiktiionary has this to say:

    The use of moose in the plural is sometimes problematic. The regularly formed plural, mooses, is by now rare and its use may be regarded as irksome and uneuphonious. The form meese—formed by analogy with goosegeese—will in most cases be greeted with a snigger, and is thus generally only appropriate in humorous contexts; even pragmatics notwithstanding, because moose has Algonquian origins—wholly unrelated to the Germanic roots of goose, on whose pattern the plural meese is formed—an umlaut plural form is etymologically inconsistent. The etymologically consistent plural form would be *mosinee,[2] but this plural form sees no use in English. In ordinary common usage, moose is treated as an invariant noun, which means its plural is also moose (as with the names of many animals, such as deer and fish, which are also invariant); however, this usage can sometimes be considered stilted when a group of more than one moose are considered individually, in which case avoidance of the plural may be the best option, necessitating the employment of a circumlocution.

    Sorry if you've heard all this before. Fortunately there is only one moosie (not 900).

    Reminds me of the zookeeper who was tasked with ordering a pair of hippos. He didn't know what the correct plural was so wrote as follows:

    Dear animal supplies, please accept my order for a hippopotamus to be delivered c/o London Zoo.

    Oh...and while you are at it, please send another one as well.

    Um, in short, aaaagh.... no.

    Understand in addition to streaming issues, it was not recorded on site

    You must understand Xerof, this stuff is highly technical ....

    But we did at least see the lady take her puffer jacket off right?

    Have had this email response from One Room....

    "We ran a full trial on location prior to this event which functioned perfectly. We also assisted Dunedin Public Art Gallery to have their network upgraded. We are still working through what triggered the camera failures on location, it may or may not have been related to bandwidth stability. One Room is taking full responsibility as we took lead for theproject.

    I am working with all parties to try to pass as much content as possible through to the Shareholders as soon as we can. I will email and communicate again once we have had a chance to discuss things with the PEG team in the morning.

    Please accept my apology for the loss of coverage today.

    Yes, I am certainly in a dark and lonely room at present!

    Regards,"

    This is the second follow up email I had from One Room...

    "Unfortunately due to a technical issue the video never made it to the One Room gateway and nor was it recorded on site for us to upload. I have been communicating with Pacific Edge andit seems the intention is to direct people to the NZX website where the transcripts and presentation content is available.https://www.nzx.com/companies/PEB/announcements/254217

    A notice to this effect will be distributed to all PEB Shareholders.

    We are very sorry that we were unable to bring you the stream/recording of the meeting. Despite efforts to minimise the risk of this happening, unfortunately it did and as the prime supplier for this service One Room must take full responsibility. This has been an inconvenience to you and frustrating for the team at Pacific Edge."
