For instance, a potato is a "pomme de terre," apple of the earth. I want to use this exercise for a writing class I'm teaching, but I need more French examples to introduce it. (The exercise would be to describe and use words in a new way.)

There are words which are obviously spelled wrong. Why not correct them? For example, sandwich should be breadwich and hamburger should be beefburger.

Is the word 'toast' (like in bread toast, not speech toast) plural?
I thought it's just 'toast' but my teacher here in Korea told me it's toasts.
Here's the question "Sometimes people have milk, eggs, and _____(toast or toasts) for breakfast."

Wouldn't the answer be toast?
