So many Simons
What do you call a group of Simons, especially in situations where they are all web developers?
- Simons (a bit dull, if you ask me)
- Simoni
- Simonae (I rather like this one)
What the world needs is a collective noun for Simons. My colleagues suggest the following:
- A genius of Simons (Simon suggested that one)
- An earlobe of Simons (from Steve, based on the original Hebrew meaning of Simon, “he who hears”)
- An audition of Simons (ditto)
And while we’re on the subject, how about collective nouns for web developers?
- A tag of web developers
- A <body> of web developers
- A class of web developers (maybe better as a div?)
And this one, my favourite from searching Google for “A * of web developers”:
- A frequent mistake of web developers
On second thoughts, that's better suited to journalists.
