Heard on The Judges: BE 0-Plural

[Wilson Gray]

Late-forty-ish, black female speaker:

She got _twin daughter_, your honor.


Nothing new, but it struck me as interesting, "twin" being as good as "two."

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
