Saddos

[pointydog]

Hey pedants

Do you think I am correct in spelling saddos thus? (Re another thread, npthing personal like)

[tissy]

if you have to spell it, yes!

[SquonkTheBeerGuru]

personally, I'd go with saddoes

It ending in a vowel and all. But I could be wrong

[SenoraPostrophe]

it's saddo's obv.

[pointydog]

Ah well, that is the nub of it, squonk. S or es

[southeastastra]

saddo is male and saddoe is female

[SquonkTheBeerGuru]

nah, saddo is male and saddette is female

[Botbot]

saddeaux?

[Iota]

saddo is a nasty, slang word and as such, shouldn't be permittted in Pedants' Corner

[pointydog]

I quite like saddeaux.

or
SAD 0

[pointydog]

I csn tell you the rules. I think.

If a word is a shortened version or a foreign word or a musical intstrument, just add s.

EG photos, hippos, pianos

If not, add es.

I thought saddo was perhaps short for something but then couldn't think what.

[pointydog]

I am so unpedantically hot

[pointydog]

Bet you wish your pedant was hot like me

[fairyfly]

Well some of us have saddo children so i don't think this thread is amusing at all. How would you feel.

[pointydog]

what do you mean, saddo children?

Only ten minutes ago i PAUSE while typing weirdos and backspaced and looked at weirdoes. Hmmm. I will apply the same rule as with pl of saddos.
