المرّ ة الجاي should the wordالجاي not carry a ة ?

Good question, Plop. The term (المرّ ة الجاي) is colloquial, and people in the street tend to say it in both forms i.e (المرة الجاية) and (المرّ ة الجاي).
If I was to use the classical way of saying (Next Time), then (المرة القادمة) would be used. Notice classical Arabic tend to follow grammars strictly unlike colloquial Arabic.

Did you know that only the female mosquito(e)s bite? And didn't Ehab mention that they are very smart ...? wink

Seriously though, thank you all for the many fun lessons recently.
