That's pretty wild but glad you were able to get a handle on it!
I assume the jury is still out on the cause?
Have you ever tried any other words that also end in ss?
Address, Abyss, Bess, Class, Compass, Cuss, Cutlass, Diss, Dress, Floss, Gloss, Miss, muss, pass, press, ross, russ, sass, etc.
There are a huge number of words ending with 2 s's so we have to hope this is not going to be a major issue or is it Brain-specific? (like the HAL6 converted to HAL7)?
Thanks and good luck!!
