The opposite dynamic of this remote contractor who prides herself on routine and efficiency and our protagonist who’s finally free of the “life” of a black company salaryman makes me look forward to seeing how they interact going forward.
@Abedeus I agree that English is weird and inconsistent. However, there are more examples words that end in f whose plural is like chief/chiefs than the other way around. Think about the word “belief” where the plural if “beliefs” and “believes” is a verb.
