<p>The plural of cul-de-sac is culs-de-sac...Gilmore Girls anyone? hehe I can't help myself, gotta post it:</p>
<p>RORY: It's culs-de-sac.
LORELAI: No way!
RORY: It is.
LORELAI: The plural of cul-de-sac is culs-de-sac?
RORY: Yes.
LORELAI: That doesn't even sound like English.
RORY: That's because it's French.
LORELAI: You know what I mean.
RORY: I hate to be the bearer of bad news.
LORELAI: Words should sound right to be right.
RORY: That's not how it works.
LORELAI: So, what, the plural of yo-yo is yos-yo?
RORY: Yeah, 'cause that sounds so natural.
LORELAI: As natural as culs-de-sac.
. . . . .
LORELAI: Hey, Luke.
LUKE: Look at this.
LORELAI: Who, Lane? She's super waitress, able to leap tall pancakes in a single bound. Or is that pans-cake?
RORY: Very funny.
. . . . .
LORELAI: So, now, why do you have to get back to campus so early? Classes don't start for a couple of days.
RORY: Yeah, I have a lot of stuff to do. And it'll be nice and quiet with no roommates around.
LORELAI: Where are the rooms-mate?
RORY: Um, Janet's mountain climbing, Tanna's home, and Paris went skiing with her boyfriend.
LORELAI: So you're just ignoring the plural thing now?
RORY: Yeah.
. . . . .
LORELAI: So everyone in the entire world knew the plural of cul-de-sac was culs-de-sac?
RICHARD: Yes.
LORELAI: Okay. So Mariah Carey is out with some friends and she's had a couple cocktails, she glances down from the roof and says, "Oh, look at all those culs-de-sac."
RORY: Why are they on the roof?
LORELAI: It's a rooftop bar.
RICHARD: How have you been saying it?
LORELAI: Cul-de-sacs.
RICHARD: And no one ever corrected you?
LORELAI: No, because that's the way it should be. Even if it isn't technically correct, it should be pronounced that way.
RORY: Mom, Mom, just let it go.
LORELAI: I will never let this go.</p>
