Connect with him on Twitter (@curtishoneycutt) or at curtishoneycutt.com. Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I love collective nouns. A collective noun is a name for the group of similar things. Well- known examples include a pride of lions, a colony of ants, a herd of cows and a murder of crows. Some of my favorite, lesser-known collective nouns are a tower of giraffes, a business of ferrets, a coalition of cheetahs and a prickle of porcupines. What is the proper term for a group of people? You could accept a number of collective nouns, depending on context: tribe, nation, family or crowd. But, when it comes to everyday Eng- lish, how do we refer to our group of friends? We call them “guys.” This term, in vernacular usage, ap- plies to a group of male humans, a group of men and women, or a group made up entirely of women. Originally, the term “guy” comes from Guy Fawkes, a 17th-century rabble- rouser who was involved in the failed Gunpowder Plot in England, in which a group of guys at- tempted to blow up the members of both Houses of Parlia- ment, King James I, most of the royal family and leading officers of state in order to establish a powerful English Catholic regime. I’ll spare you the rest of the details and cut to the chase: Their plan didn’t work. Fawkes got caught. After Guy Fawkes’ notorious legend spread, the term “guys” came to be known as something similar to a “gang” or a group of “rebels” – bad guys up to no good. As the term progressed, its meaning shifted to something more positive, like “people on your team” or “friends you can count on.” What do you say to your friends if you’re trying to get their attention? I would guess most of you would say, “Hey, guys!” This is in no way the capital “G” gram- mar rule for a collective group of humans. It’s my takeaway based on listening to how people, men and women alike, actu- ally talk in 2018 America. So, I’m totally fine if you guys disagree with the Gram- mar Guy on this one. Commentary by Don Knebel Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, thriving amid its natural disadvantages. In 1550, the king of Sweden, which controlled the area at the time, found- ed Helsinki as a trading village on a peninsula in the Gulf of Finland. The city began to grow in the 19th century after Russia defeated Sweden and took control of Finland. Today, Helsinki, with a population of approximately 650,000, occupies its original peninsula and 315 islands, connected by bridges and water transportation. Located just 2,000 miles from the North Pole, Helsinki is, with the exception of Reyk- javik, Iceland, the farthest north of all world capitals. For almost three months in the fall and winter, the sun hugs the horizon, provid- ing about five hours of daylight. Winter tem- peratures rarely rise above freezing and tem- peratures of 25 degrees below zero are not unusual. Precipitation falls about 180 days a year, making Helsinki rainier than Seattle. Despite its climate, Helsinki, always im- maculately clean, is routinely ranked among the world’s most livable cities, having one of the world’s highest urban standards of living. The major sidewalks are heated in the winter. Residents not wanting to walk can take the efficient Helsinki Metro, the northernmost subway in the world. Four large indoor swim- ming halls allow year-round swimming. Four other pools provide swimming exclusively for dogs, one offering half-hour lessons. World- class museums and theaters provide extraor- dinary cultural opportunities for such a small city. And, of course, the ubiquitous Finnish saunas provide opportunities to be inside during the cold and dark days of winter. In 2012, Helsinki was named the World Design Capital for its innovative approaches. Each year, at least 5,000 people move to Helsinki from all around the world. If you get a chance to visit this unique city, take advan- tage of it. Central Section of Helsinki, Finland. (Photo by Don Knebel)
