Thread Name: BS: plural rules for words ending in ey ???
Subject: RE: BS: plural rules for words ending in ey ???
Words ending in 'ey' generally add 's'. Words ending only in 'y' usually change to 'ies' in the plural. But 'monies' is correct. In Old English, the plural 'en' was found, as in ey, eyen (eyes) (I'm not a pedant, I hope!)
