Tell us where you get on your study grind below.

PollerBears: Spicy with + spicy with = ?

“GUYYYS I JUST WANNA GO TO JO’SSSS”

How many times have you struggled to place an order for more than one spicy with at Jo’s? Does the word “spicy with” exist in the plural form? It’s hard to determine which way sounds the best or, most importantly, grammatically correct: does the spicy with fall in the exceptional category of the moose or of the goose? Or do we just tack the letter “S” at the end and call it a day night? Does it even matter? (…not because we’re feeling particularly existential right now, but because it’s usually close to 2 a.m. on a weekend night when we order.)

What is the plural of "spicy with"?

PollerBears: It’s Turkey Week!

He’s no Julia Child, but that is not what Thanksgiving requires of us.

Thanksgiving brings out humanity’s greatest dreams. Warm dreams of stuffing. Heavenly dreams of a week without homework and 9 a.m. hell. Patriotic dreams of football and post-dinner postgame shows. Oh, and I suppose there’s that one insane kid dreaming of turduckens (see above image). So, do us a favor and let us know where your flights of fancy are taking you this Turkey Week…

It's Thanksgiving! What are you looking forward to the most during Turkey Week?
