Ah ha, a dissenter! I knew there was one out there. IP, you put forth 'BlackBerrys', so you explanatory services are required. Just why do all product names take '-s' as their plural, regardless of whether the name is a normal word or not? .... this better be good :-) Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: BlackBerry #158779 04/21/06 11:15 AM Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 2,379 New York City I inselpeter Pooh-Bah inselpeter Pooh-Bah I Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 2,379 New York City I think whats-his-name talks about it in his first book, What's-It-called. That is Chomsky's student who started publishing ten or so years ago, it isn't Pinter is it? I mean, he's a playwright, isn't he? So it must be something else. That guy, with reference to Walkmans. I think its simpler though: Blackberry is a tradename, and Blackberries ain't. And, truth told, I would say "Walkmen," if I didn't have his inadvertent prescription in my ear wigged.
