Apellidos en plural: claves de escritura
El plural de los apellidos, que en general permanecen invariables, genera dudas y vacilaciones. A continuación, se facilitan algunas claves para solventarlas.
1. Si los apellidos designan a los miembros de una misma familia, la tendencia es que queden invariables: los García, los Pérez.
2. Cuando se refieren al conjunto de personas que tienen el mismo apellido,pueden permanecer invariables o añadirles la marca del plural que les corresponda. Así, si el apellido termina en vocal son posibles las dos opciones: «En esta ciudad hay muchos García/Garcías», mientra que cuando el apellido termina en consonante se prefiere la forma invariable: «En mi colegio hay varios Pastor» (más normal que «En mi colegio hay varios Pastores»); de hecho, los apellidos terminados en -s o -z siempre son invariables:los Olivares, los Martínez.
3. Cuando se haga referencia solo a miembros femeninos de una familia se empleará el artículo femenino: las Sánchez, las Obama (no los Obama).

Aprender segunda língua retarda o envelhecimento do cérebro
Estudo prova que benefícios acontecem mesmo quando aprendizado acontece em idade adulta
O GLOBO - 02/06/2014
EDIMBURGO - Aprender uma segunda língua pode causar um efeito positivo sobre o cérebro, amenizando seu envelhecimento. O benefício é possível mesmo que o aprendizado aconteça na idade adulta, constata um novo estudo realizado pela Universidade de Edimburgo, na Escócia, publicada na revista Annals of Neurology.
Os pesquisadores descobriram que a leitura, fluência verbal e inteligência foram melhorados em um estudo aplicado em 262 pessoas com 11 ou 70 anos. Uma pesquisa anterior já havia sugerido que ser bilíngue poderia retardar o aparecimento da demência por vários anos.
Os testes tinham o objetivo de averiguar se o aprendizado de línguas melhora as funções cognitivas. O cientista Thomas Bak, do Centro de Envelhecimento da Universidade de Edimburgo, foi quem comandou os trabalhos. Bak disse que encontrou o padrão significativo de melhorias na atenção, foco e fluência das atividades cerebrais.
- Essas descobertas são de importância prática significativa. Milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo aprendem uma segunda língua mais tarde. Nosso estudo mostra que o bilinguismo sempre irá retardar o envelhecimento do cérebro - avalia.

Besides, there is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. Quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How come your house can burn up as it burns down? How come you fill in a form by filling it out? How come an alarm goes off by going on?

NOTE: in English, sieve on its own does not make much sense. It needs to be used in a phrase - "that keeper has a hand like a sieve”.
Thus, to define a goalie that lets everything in “howler”, "sitter" or even "butter fingers" are better words.
