    • In the great tradition of several recent threads:

    Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit?
    Kid/kids or Child/children?
    God bless or God bless you?

    I thought I'd make fun of these a bit by adding another one:

    Which is better?
    Six, or half a dozen?

    Definitely "six".

    Half-a-dozen is for protestant heretics.

    Ah, but six three times is the Number of the Beast. Half a dozen is less demonic.

    Depends on whether or not it's a baker's dozen.

    • It depends on what you're talking about.

    Where I come from (the sticks), half a dozen is commonly used when talking about food items (especially eggs) and animals. The old men almost always say half a dozen.
