Correct Pluralisation of Trophy

[Steve]

I've always thought Trophys as it's a name rather than the noun Trophy, which would pluralise as Trophies, and Trophy's implies something belonging to the Trophy, ie. the Trophy's wheels are Anthracite.

A vote is in order, I think.

I went for Trophy's, but was very close to choosing the fourth option ........ you must have a lot of time on your hands steve :wink:

 

[Cue]

you asking me ? lol

I'd agree Trophy's implies ownership of something. A collection of Trophies would probably be accurate - i pressed on the wrong selection though and can't change my vote

lol, gimpoid is proving to be a popular choice Steve :lol:

Oh my god.

Option 1 and 3 have an argument on being right, but the 'greengrocer's Trophy' wins after ten votes....

I'm off to a grammatical website.....umm.. like Cliosport

Trophys. 'Cos it's right.

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

Anyone for option 5 - Trophs ? :lol:

 

[trophy176]

Think it would be Trophys.

However, I put forward I different idea how about a bunch of Trophy or school of Trophy some it like that!!

 

[Cue]

or trophi

 

[trophy176]

Troph - as the guy on the phone at Elephant was convinced it was called or and didn't exist!!

 

[Steve]

Excellent, I actually got some replies to this.

The correct answer is indeed Trophys. Or the fourth which is indeed proving popular.

I had a think about this last night and I agree it is Trophys.

As Tropy is a proper noun, it is equivalent to a person's surname rather than the noun trophy.

Imagine a couple with a surname ending with a y, e.g. Grundy.
You would refer to them as the Grundys, not the Grundies.
