    Correct way to say it?

    [img]/forums/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] Which is correct?
    Corns on the cob, corn on the cobs, perhaps corn ons the cob, or even corns ons thes cobs?
    (Just a little winter-time diversion as we wait for the ground to be ready for seed again.)

    Do not know which is the correct way to say it, however in this part of the country it has always been corn on the cob.

    Same here, but what is the plural of a corn on the cob? (I can see this is going to be one of those multiple page threads. Ya, right.)

    And look at the related links (advertising) at the top of this page.

    No matter which way you say it I'd like several more cobs on my plate. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
