I really wish Hezbollah would close the Bab al-Mandeb Strait so when people on TV keep saying "straits" it can at least make sense to keep making it plural. It frustrates me more than it should. It's ONE strait that is being closed! The Strait of Hormuz. It's not the Straits of Hormuz!
Edit: Strait's closed is correct because it's a contraction of Straight is". I'm referring to when people say "the straits are closed again" like multiple straits are being closed.

Schrödinger's straight. Simultaneously open and closed, while never being straight.

Thank gawd - I know I'm getting old, but the lack of reaction was really worrying...

Daddy Netanyahu says no, you can’t have that agreement.
So here’s the tantrum.
