Subject: BS: plural rules for words ending in ey ???
anyone know definitive rules for plurals of valley, journey or money et al?
I once agonised over journies/journeys and settled on the latter. Recently asked for the spelling of Valleys (in a phone message) but would never question "monies" as being anything other than correct.
Is there a rule - with occasional exceptions?
I ask here because the BBC "Word of Mouth" forum is now closed.
