Topic: strange question...

Is the word "chumby" singular and/or plural?
example:
I own 50 chumby.
vs
I own 50 chumby's.
Hmmmm.
IMHO is is plural as well as singular.
Opinions?

A Chumby in hand is worth 20 in the Wherehouse.

Re: strange question...

The plural of chumby is "chumbys".

Re: strange question...

Chumbies.

Re: strange question...

The "official" plural is "chumbys".  While it doesn't follow normal rules of English, it's consistent with the trademark.

I understand official. But it's an open platform. So Ima callin' 'em Chumbies.

I will continue to call a group of chumby... chumby.
Chumby is like tuna.
You don't say tunas now do you?
You say tuna. Wether you are talking about one or many you say tuna. At least I do.
Just like you say chumby.
Just how I am going to do things.
Hell it is an open source device.
