Talk:War of the Three Henries (976–978)

Chiefest
I hate to be this nitpicky, but why was "chiefest" changed to "chief"? Srnec 18:41, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

"Henries"
Why isn't this article named "War of the Three Henrys (977–978)"? Proper nouns ending in y form their plural by simply adding an s, rather than changing y to ies.

 * There is no reason this should be so. Think about it: if a proper noun is really proper, then it can never be pluralised. The moment we pluralise it we are creating a bastard, so it really doesn't matter much either way. Is Greeces the plural of Greece? Is the plural of Germany Germanies? In fact, for the latter, it is and has been used, which is evidence that pluralisation of words that are proper nouns in other contexts follows the same rules of pluralisation as any common nouns.
