Subject: RE: BS: Plurals don't require apostrophes!
Merriam-Webster gives either "banjo" or "banjoes" as correct for the plural of "banjo," although, as a general rule, the alternative with the fewest letters is preferable.
Here's my take on it:
Singular—banjo
Plural—banji
Back to singular again—banjum
Get it?
Got it!
Good!
