-SINGULAR-

I was reading the other day, and something jumped off the page that kind of got me thinking. One of the characters mentioned that the word sky is grammatically singular, but what the word describes specifically isn't singular at all.. This brought me down a spiral of comparisons, but sometimes I guess that isn't such a bad thing. If you take a second, the word ocean isn't singular whatsoever because of everything that it can encompass. It has sea creatures, dirt, rocks, coral, garbage, vegetation.. so many things, yet we use a singular word to describe it. Going back to the sky; it contains clouds, pollution, birds, rain, the sun. But somehow, whoever created this English language thought it to be singular. Not acknowledging all of the beautiful things it can involve within itself. But I guess that's just what we do as humans huh? Strip things of their originally mesmerizing stature.
