"Pinheads," However, Is Correct
I just heard on a radio show that the proper plural form of "loon" is "loon." Just like "shrimp" and "deer," the singular and plural are identical. Isn't that neat? Here, I'll use it in a sentence:
The nine Democratic Presidential hopefuls are a bunch of loon.
Actually, I think "shrimp" works just as well there.
