Sorry Jazzgirl, I see what you mean, I was being particularly dense - again!

I think it is probably plural so no apostrophe but I could be wrong.

I see what you mean Brendan :) But the answer is plural and they sing . That's the bit that is confusing me..... Not to worry . Back to the sandwich-bashing.....

As I said before, they're not noted for their singing - just a bit of nondescript twittering!

I suddenly feel a strange affinity with them 😂

Sorry guys ! I'll stop my own nondescript twittering now, also, and leave you in peace . x

Your nondescript twittering is always welcome, jazzgirl!

Hmmmmm

Loudly discussing I,e. When said out loud (sounds like) homophone
