It don't care which one I use. It depends on my mood more than anything. Most often its corydoras but if I am abbreviating it I will use whatever other people in the thread are using because I know they are both wrong. Rite?
Apostrophes are evil when you're trying to be a plural. Though I suppose it could stand for the "doras" part... *confusion sets in*I prefer cory's in the plural sense
Wow. This is a close race.
("Cories!" :headbang2
(Although I do admit to spelling it both ways. )
I think that rule would apply unless the word in question is a proper name, like a genus name (Corydoras). However, since we have already corrupted the name by shortening it to Cory I'm not sure whether that rule would still be relevant. ????In proper english, if you add 's' to a word with 'y' on the end, you change the 'y' to 'ie'.
I always thought that the "apostrophe s" word ending was possessive and for the plural you use just the "s", no apostrophe. An s followed by an apostrophe at the end of Cory would be plural possessive.I prefer cory's in the plural sense
Corydoras is latin not english :grinyes:In proper english, if you add 's' to a word with 'y' on the end, you change the 'y' to 'ie'.
