Why does American English pluralize certain singular nouns? has an open bounty of +500 from the Community. How does that work?
1 Answer
Usually it's because a user had a bounty but requested deletion while the bounty was live.

Shouldn't the bounty be removed, in that case? How is the Community user going to award it, after all?– MarthaªSep 6, 2011 at 16:08

@Martha It'll happen as an auto-award (half bounty to the highest voted answer (min. score of 2) posted after the bounty was started) after it expires. Sep 6, 2011 at 21:32

@martha that's covered in the english.stackexchange.com/faq#bounty rules for sure, see the bulleted list at the bottom there. Sep 7, 2011 at 6:04
