>According to my dictionary, "the Downs" is a "treeless chalk uplands along the south and southeast coast of England." It's a specific place name; you would no more say "a Down breed" than you would say "a United State breed". <
Er, I'm confused. Is 'a Down breed' an incorrect way to refer to a specific sheep breed? Or is 'the Downs' the incorrect way to refer to a specific sheep breed? My confusion stems from the fact that 'Down' and 'Downs' are now being used interchangeably. wrnk d2 To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
