Subject: RE: BS: plural rules for words ending in ey ???
I'm votin' for "eys". Everyone knows it's "monkeys", fer instance.
You get a lotta "heys" around here. Ya know why? Italian workmen. They are always yellin' "HEY!" for some reason. They yell it at each other. They yell it at people goin' by. They yell it at me.
If ya got a bunch of Italians on a construction site, ya got a whole lotta "HEYS" happenin' all the time.
But it would look stupid to spell it HEIS, wouldn't it?
