If news is plural for new why is it not acceptable to say “These news are great” ?
Or, more importantly how do I refer to multiple news?

I think “gurgitate” should be a word since one can “regurgitate”

I’ll just be relaxing in the gurges with a glass of wine if you need me.

If you ingurgitate wine in the gurges, you’re likely to regurgitate. From the twirling.

I don’t know why my eyes read FWIW as for what I want.
Maybe because I’m selfish and uncaring and that’s how my brain interprets most things.

I like this angle…“The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. And I knew we’d get into that rotten stuff pretty soon. Probably at the next gas station.” ~Barbara Bush

I think some folks will use it negatively in reference to people deemed hippyish. The derogatory term for people who actually came from Bohemia (my heritage) was bohunk.

I have to find out.
I’m disappointed in the way English does this. You have to talk about pieces of news, or news items. ððð I feel like we need to invent the plural newses. It would be better. And then we could also have “a news”. https://www.espressoenglish.net/is-news-singular-or-plural/
I hate “news items” more than jelly fish. The word “items” is vague and unexciting.
The good news is, if you convince enough people, you can change the language. I’m thinking we could use 60s Batman sound effect words to give an indication of news excitement level. How about a news kapow? News bam? News biff?
Oh, news biff: I’m hearing more people refer to “jellies” nowadays instead of jelly fish, if that helps.
