So, why Owls� Court, I hear the masses query.
It was a thing I had when I was discovering the glorious permutations of language, lo, these many years ago. You know those collective nouns – descriptions like a school of fish, a gaggle of geese, an exaltation of larks? They get more arcane: a murder of crows, a parliament of rooks, an unkindness of ravens, a plate of clams� but I always wondered what a collection of owls would be. They�re pretty solitary.
So I made it up. A court of owls.
Then recently, I discovered that a collection of owls is actually called a parliament. I don�t know what that does to the rooks; maybe they�re a house of rooks now.
Anywhats. There you have it. A term that, sadly, I can no longer use, because someone else got there first. That is, until now. Creating a blog was worth it, simply for that.
There will, however, be more. Much, much more.
