Is there a plural to yes?

[GuffSmuggler]

I don't think you can have yes as a plural can you? If I'm arranging an event and I have 10 people accept, I can't say: I've had 10 yeses (sp?).

I should say: I've had 10 people say yes.

Yeses is the correct plural of yes. Perfectly acceptable to say '10 yeses'.

Oh ok, thanks. It just looks so odd!

Ayes and noes.

I'd more likely say "I've had 10 acceptances" and get around it that way

"yesses" or "yeses" I believe- according to MW Dictionary online- would go with the canny lass above's suggestion..less odd!

Shit Yeah, is what I normally say.

Yeses for me. Looks a lot less weird than 'nos' (don't be tempted to add any apostrophes! But putting it in quotes helps.)

Yaes and nays?

I meant yeas of course.

I've had ten affirmative replies...

I would say yeses out loud (and my iPad doesn't want to autocorrect it to anything else) but it seems so wrong written down.

Ten people are coming so far!

There is no plural as "yes" is a noun only if you're an X Factor judge.

The authorities on the English language disagree with you.
