Teacher: Millie, give me a sentence starting with i.

Millie: I is....

Teacher: No, Millie. Always say, "I am."

Millie: Okay, I am the ninth letter of the alphabet.

The yolk of an egg IS white.. that's the proper way to say it. :)

The word "are" would be correct if you said the yolkS of an egg ARE white. Yolks indicates MORE than one egg.

Elin, re-read my quote above. What you said here is precisely what I said there. :) I wrote the word "yolkS," indicating more than one, and I also put "are" which is also correct. :)

I might word the plural form as...

The egg yolks are yellow.

or

The whites of eggs are white.


The yolk of an egg IS white - IS NOT correct since yolks are yellow

I can't believe folks are still debating the colour of egg yolks, so funny.

people might want to read the first page of the thread, especially those who think egg yolks are white!

:D
