and also yes, much more quality content, so I'm pretty happy if podcasts are doing so well

If you want to survive doing a podcast, you actually have to be good. If you want to survive as a radio personality just don't swear and be happy making 25k a year

as long as the ads and commercial incentives don't directly affect the quality... I've noticed a few podcasts with very intrusive ads, which is counterintuitive to what a podcast is supposed to be

Big time. I listen to one where the integration is terrible and another one where they make it part of the show (if you want someone to break in to your house and chop your head off, fine, don't buy simplisafe. Fot those who don't want to be decapitated...)

It was actually the Norman-French invasion that brought the modern word beef into our language, as the older French term boef, which had derived from the Latin bubula. Although the word cou stuck around to refer to live animals, the term beef became firmly established to refer to the meat. There are, of course, more details to this story, but let’s move on to the plural.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary:
Plural of Beef
beef: n. 1. the flesh of a cow, bull, or ox, used as food. (plural beeves /bēvz/) Farming A cow, bull, or ox fattened for its meat.

In early Latin, the actual animals that bobula came from were called bovus, which could mean anything to do with cows or oxen. Our modern word bovine comes from this source. The question is if cow (or bull/oxen) was used to refer to the actual animal, and beef referred to its meat, how could there be a plural? Today we use meat as a mass noun. Think of meat, then, as similar to a word like concrete or wood. These items exist as undifferentiated wholes which cannot be separated and counted. There are no concretes. Meat is similar. Only occasionally do we break this rule and use a plural form of meat to refer to a group of more than one type or variety meats. Even then, we are just as like to use a phrase such as “several varieties of meat were on display.”

Beef would seem to be similar to meat, in this regard. Well, it turns out that there was a time when a cow that was ready to slaughter, meaning it had been fattened up and readied for market, was then referred to as a beef. Likewise, the slaughtered carcass might be called a beef. And two or more market-ready cows, or carcasses, were beeves.

In case you’re wondering, if you have a beef with more than one person, the plural is beefs!

Yeah "herd of beef" is not acceptable nomenclature in English.

"Herd of Beefeaters"...



OK, still not quite right, but as you see above, it's real.

Now a "herd of Beefeater gin bottles"...



Nothing wrong with that at all
