Plurality

Who decides on the plural versions of nouns? It seems to me that some of these pluralings could be improved. Have you ever thought that? Today we’re going to look at words that end in the letters ess. For words like mattress and seamstress we have historically just added -es at the end of word to make it plural, as in, “We need new mattresses for the boys’ bunk beds”. That’s too many s’s for me. We end up sounding like an angry cat. My plan would be to shorten these plurals to mattri, or seamstri, as in “That dress is so large that it may take multiple seamtri to alter it”.  

Try these out on your friends. I bet you’ll have succi!!
