Having just had a discussion around what the collective noun would be for a group of velociraptors
...it leads me on to wonder why we have so many collective nouns . When was the last time you referred to a murder of crows , or a drove of cattle or a brace of ducks.
Herd, pack , school , flight , litter etc should cover most things surely
By the way we decided the collective noun for velociraptors should be a viciousness ...I like that. Don't know why we were discussing this when I was eating lunch tho
