All Sorts, collective nouns gone wild
All Sorts is a collection of collective nouns that may or may not have found their way into the Oxford English Dictionary. If you think that a charismatic collective is far superior to a dullard ‘bunch’ or ‘flock’ then this is the place for you.
Some examples:
a whooshing of deadlines
a complexity of change requests
a firewall of rules
a need of context
a correction of editors
