Did you know most of us have been saying it wrong?
« on: August 23, 2020, 09:46:35 AM »
So today I learned "Merry Treats" is actually "Merry Treat" - singular. I have never "heard" (read) anyone call her Merry Treat before, and so I've always just assumed it was "Treats", plural.

Although... Merry Treats sounds better *shrug*
I SELL VINTAGE & NEW NAME BRAND TOYS!
* Taking a break from inventory to focus on expanding my personal collection, so VERY interested in trades!

...except as you can see in the URL and the link in the link frame to her page ;)

I can confirm the UK card also calls her Merry Treat.

The same is true for Nilly (Vanilla Treat), hence why I called her Nilly as a kid >.>

I had to do a search for my own posts to be sure, and oi, guilty... :P No idea how that could have happened, usually if I'm not sure about the spelling of a certain name or word I google it before posting! :blush:
