Watch this: Matt Moneymaker Corrects Reporter On The Plural Use of Bigfoot
Let's settle this once and for all: The plural for Bigfoot isn't Bigfoot or Bigfeet. Using Bigfoot as a plural suggest that there's only one Bigfoot-- a mythical creature. Saying Bigfeet just sounds really dumb. Sure, we can debate all day long about other animals that have the same singular and plural forms, but until we actually have a live specimen, let's just stick to saying Bigfoots, or Sasquatches if you prefer to call them that.
BFRO president Matt Moneymaker, agrees with us that it should be Bigfoots or Sasquatches and we've seen a couple of occasions where he actually blew up on a TV show host for saying "Bigfeet" as a plural or "Bigfoot" as if there's only one creature. On ABC News today, watch Moneymaker correct a reporter about this:
The king has spoken.
ReplyDeleteMatt Moneymaker got together with Thom Powell and decided that abomination of the English language. Matt and Thom were wrong then and remain wrong to this day.
DeleteThe use of Bigfoot for both singular and plural, implies respect. Not that there is just one of even 6000 of them.
Nor is the plural of sasquatch, sasquatches.
The plural of Elk is not Elks. The plural of deer is not deers.
I will never use BIGFOOTS to describe more than one BIGFOOT. It sounds exactly like running ones fingernails down a chalk board.
It's correct or at least okay to say Bigfoots when you mean more than one.
Deleteyou guys are arguing over mythical creatures lul
DeleteWow look at all those sheeps next to the bigfeets
DeleteThem bigfeet are trying to catch some salmons
DeleteBigfoot rubber boots, Bigfoot's galoshes, galoshes for Bigfoot or galoshes for bigfeet, or Bigfoot's galoshes or Bigfeets galoshes.....ahhhh screw it.
DeleteIf were were tying to describe more than one moose, it would not be mooses. Moneymaker and the gang drive me freakin nuts every week when I hear bigfoots. Whether you believe in them or not, use the correct plural you chowder heads. Look at that bigfoot, look at that, there are two bigfoot. I just saw 27 sasquatch....etc.
DeleteI personally like bigfeet and when I say it I use it in singular or plural I just like the word better besides that who made moneymaker lord and master of Bigfoot terminology
DeleteBigfoots like to eat deers. So sayeth the blowhard.
DeleteSo sayeth the spider!!!
Deleteyou believers are fools there is no Bigfoot. Its over.
Delete^ Off medication.
DeleteSays the fool coming to a Bigfoot site to tell us. This doesn't make you a genius but also a fool or tool. I hope you brag and one of your friends punch you in your big head.
DeleteBigfoots sounds possessive not plural.
DeleteNo we don't say "deers", "elks", or "mooses"... But we do say coyotes, wolves, and Mountain Lions, Cougars, Panthers.
DeleteBut saying "Bigfoot" for a plural implies you are talking about one specific creature. "Bigfoot" has become a generic term for what could be at least three different things. PNW Sasquatch, Skunk-apes, Southern Sasquatch, and Mid-West "Momo" are all reported having different behavior, screams, and physical discriptions. Thats why I say "Bigfoots"
2nd is better than third
ReplyDeleteBigfootsesis
DeleteSomething that doesn't exist can neither be singular or plural.
ReplyDeleteWhich naturally then leads to the question of sanity on this board. Since sanity does not exist here, is the plural of sanity, sanities?
DeleteFunny to see so many people flock to a blog about something if it doesn't exist the trolls are behaving much like religious people flocking to God blogs.
Deletebigfoot dont exist, no trollling here just facts, sorry buddy
DeleteAh, care to positively prove what you say is true.
DeleteMatt! is that you?
DeleteSo there's no plural form for dinosaur cause they don't exist anymore? Being real of mythical has nothing to do with proper English, spelling and grammar, ya twatwaffle.
DeleteHahahaha twatwaffle I love it cockmeat sandwhich approved lol
DeleteBesides, regardless of Matt's views on the word and at least it's one thing he's right about, these big ones aren't even animals but people and the plural form for nationalities does have an s at the end of the name last time I checked.
DeleteThanks a lot for sharing this with all of us you really recognise what you are talking about!

Does Matt smell like Teen Spirit?
ReplyDeleteHe's trying to channel Kurt Cobain lately.
DeleteMM is great, the man has done so much for bigfooting, what a great guy! you clowns can bad mouth him all you want , you'll never have the impact he has had on the BF scene.YES they are real..GO MATT!!!!!
ReplyDeletePlease explain and elaborate on what broken branches, natural animal deaths, and constantly saying "squatches do that!" Or when MM says "oh yeah, that's not a coyote, it's a Squatch pretending to be a coyote to trick us!" Matt Moneymaker is why so many people stopped or don't take the hunt for Bigfoot seriously anymore. Every dead animal he comes across is a "Squatch kill" every broken branch is a "Squatch sign". With all the stuff M.M. says is Squatch stuff on the finding bigfoot show, he's either a complete moron for not actually finding one by now, or a jack ass set free in public to destroy any idea that the search for Bigfoot is done by intelligent people.
DeleteYeah. and he taking it all to the bank dude.
DeleteAnon 208
DeleteDamn good post!
I have never really cared for the use of 'Bigfoots' to describe them in plural form, I much prefer 'Bigfoot'. Matt is entitled to his opinion though, even if I think he's incorrect.
ReplyDeleteFrom Wiki:
"Some nouns have identical singular and plural. Many of these are the names of animals:
bison
buffalo
deer
fish
moose
pike
sheep
salmon
trout
swine
plankton
The plural deers is listed in some dictionaries.[6] As a general rule, game or other animals are often referred to in the singular for the plural in a sporting context: "He shot six brace of pheasant", "Carruthers bagged a dozen tiger last year", whereas in another context such as zoology or tourism the regular plural would be used. Eric Partridge refers to these sporting terms as "snob plurals" and conjectures that they may have developed by analogy with the common English irregular plural animal words "deer", "sheep" and "trout".[7] Similarly, nearly all kinds of fish have no separate plural form (though there are exceptions—such as rays, sharks or lampreys). As to the word fish itself, the plural is usually identical to the singular, although fishes is sometimes used, especially when meaning "species of fish"."
More troubling than spelling is the fact that the media quite obviously sleeps with enemy here, we know anchors are brainless robotic morons most of them like those three idiots (infiltrated by the cover-uppers' agenda just like mainstream science) meaning there is no actual free press anymore. Remember Roswell. Hence we get crap reports like these, I bet the government's influences hinted at them oh fellas listen it's time for more ridiculing stories. Notice how they've been especially foolish since the Ketchum news broke it's been heavy ridicule time gonzo.
DeleteAnon 1:18. And they wonder why their ratings keep dropping year after year to the point they are soon to become irrelevant.

Whats up with Moneymakers emo hairdo?
ReplyDeleteHis emo comb-over wig is one of the biggest secrets in bigfootery still left today.
DeleteReverse mullet. Party in the front, all business in the back.

Deleteit's is called a TELLUM
DeleteWell "TELLUM" his hair looks stupid
DeleteGetting his styling tips from Kate Gosselin.
Deleteah got it mullet backwards is a tellum whatever it looks stupid
DeletePiss poor reporting from the mainstream media and everyone on this one.
ReplyDeleteThat swamp is not in the Blue Mountains. Down in the desert near Wildhorse Casino. No BF way down there.
Agendas remember agendas. They're only reporting the views they're told to report on this it's all about not upsetting their housewife viewers.
DeleteMainstream media? Not sure 60 minutes and CNN is interested in this one.

Finally! Somebody gets it!
DeleteI'm thinking that the plural form of "bigfoot" should be the same as the singular, UNLESS followed by a verb... In that case adding an "s" to the end would be proper. Watch how the following words work in sentences..... "Basket weaving bigfoots!!!" VS "Lokk at all those bigfoot weaving baskets!" .... And on second thought... Maybe not...
ReplyDeleteReporters like "bitch get a hair cut"
ReplyDeleteThe plural of Bigfoot/Sasquatch is "Hairy Bastards" Keep it simple, stupid.
ReplyDeleteBIGFEET. It's that simple
ReplyDeleteMId Michigan Calling
BF is a relatively new term.
ReplyDeletePrefer Sasquatch or even Wendigo if you want to include other beasts that go bump in the night
Bigfoot is a silly press name and once found it'll be Sasquatch officially unless they have another name for themselves they prefer instead. Maybe Sasquatch is what they call themselves and only told the Indians.
Deletei dont like matt moneymaker at all , never have , hes a hot head and hes all hollywood, can anyone tell me why he is orange ??
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but was anyone under the misconception that they've been running around the U.S. and Australia looking for just a single individual creature why would he feel the need to assume everyone is that dumb
ReplyDeleteBigfoot sounds like a kid's term and "Bigfoots/Bigfeet" just sounds stupid. Sasquatch or Squatches sounds better.
ReplyDeletethe plural of retard is retards
ReplyDeleteCAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION FOR ME, " IS STEVEN STREUFERT A HOMOSEXUAL?" I GOT THE IMPRESSION HE WAS... I'D REALLY APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE WOULD BE KIND ENOUGH TO ANSWER THAT FOR ME!

ReplyDeleteMulder, I have a question for you..
Is it *possible* that BF does NOT exist? Just give me a simple yes or no.
Thanks...
"Seeing as how I've seen one in good light at close range and seeing as how I am neither crazy, stupid, or under the influence of mind-altering "pharmaceuticals" that answer would be a resounding "NO"." - Mulder
Yeah and no it is not possible that Bigfoot does not exist. What's the problem?
Delete"I am neither crazy, stupid, or under the influence of mind-altering pharmaceuticals."
DeleteMulder
I await your proffer of proof for that claim as I find it highly debatable. By the way, you are getting your ass kicked over at the BFF site.
This is all wrong.
ReplyDeleteGoose. Geese. Bigfoot. Bigfeet. Not bigfoots. That's illiterate.
How about Bigfi, pronounced BIG-FIGH, as in a A PACK OF BIGFI
ReplyDelete... or a SWARM OF BIGFI.
Delete.. or a POD OF BIGFI
ReplyDelete... or my personal fave, a GAGGLE OF BIGFI
ReplyDeleteI think it should be a TRAMPLE of Bigfoot or Bigfi if you prefer.
DeleteBo Bo to Rene... I think we have a gaggle of bigfi out here tonight.
DeleteIf a scentence is structured right, "Bigfoot" can be plural.
ReplyDeleteEx: The Bigfoot were roaming around the campsite. "Were" indicates more than one.
What in the Christ has he done to his hair?
ReplyDeletethat bigfeet stole my ham sandmich
ReplyDeleteMoneymaker is an idiot. It's Sasquatch, both singular and plural.
