Does 12 make a dozen?
Posted by ElaineL on June 04, 1998 at 17:48:12:
I was about to write a reference in a story about a "dozen" of something and then wondered if the English (and particularly in this time period) used this descripture. The English to Am. English sites I checked didn't have anything. I'd be happy to pursue others if you have a source to recommend. (If you know the answer, that'd be great too!) Thanks, EL
