I used the phrase “Enquiring Minds want to know” in a previous post and thought that “Enquiring Minds” would be a good blog title so I googled and found this site:alt.usage.english.FAQ.

I found they have lots of interesting tidbits of english usage and origins of phrases and words. I thought their explanation of using verbs with group nouns (e.g. company, herd, flock, pod) was very edifying.

I didn’t see an EM blog pop out of the google search but I didn’t look past the first page and it had 44,000 hits.

Oh yes, The EM phrase I started with was a result of the National Enquirer ad campaign in the ’80s.
