just a dumb question..

andypandy · 22 March 2010, 10:01 PM

You say Tomato , I say Rolexes.....lets call the whole thing off ! Seriously though , I have never heard any other use than Rolexes , as the plural.

winged wheel · 22 March 2010, 10:14 PM

Rolexi, of course.

Jason71 · 22 March 2010, 10:19 PM

This is actually a good question. Since Rolex is a name wouldn't the proper use be Rolex's???

CPTL · 22 March 2010, 10:39 PM

Generally accepted regular plural: Rolexes. Or, you could try the classical Greek/Latin version: Rolices

not in the plural, that's only to indicates posession when you do that to a name e.g. That is Rolex's design

The proper plural would be Rolexes, it follows the same rule as, boxes/foxes/taxes. It aids pronunciation, I was a language student and I am very geeky because I still love grammar, syntax, spelling etc.

mfer · 23 March 2010, 01:24 AM

Your answer is full of sense

spuds · 23 March 2010, 01:27 AM

The plural of Rolex is simply "Rolex".

Trust me.
I am a (closet) grammar-Nazi.

Hmmmm

and index is therefore indexes??

That is of course similar to mouse:mice and house:houses...

not so?

Reading the above again, it sounds rather condescending which it really isn't meant to be.

These links are for the MacMillan dictionary.

Under "word forms" in both British and American English, the plural of Rolex is listed as Rolexes.

http://www.macmillandictionary.com/d.../british/Rolex

http://www.macmillandictionary.com/d...american/Rolex

Years ago when Jan Libourel was editor of "Handguns" magazine, he would write the plural of Taurus (a Brazilian firearms manufacturer) as Taurii. The grammar Nazis would go berzerk, but he'd never flinch, although he did once explain that it was his idea of a joke and the grammar Nazis needed to chill.
