Pluralizing SVX
So one thing I've noticed in all my readings here, it seems that people choose to pluralize SVX in a couple different ways. I've seen SVX's, and SVXi both used frequently on here. What is your preference, and why do you feel its better.
I personally feel that SVX is like deer or elk, it should be spelled the same singular and plural. Not sure exactly why I feel that way, it just seems natural to me. (Strangely enough I could easily see a large group of SVX referred to as a herd of SVX. Kind of emphasizes the rarity of our cars )

Re: Pluralizing SVX
My understanding is the SVXi was higher end SVX in the later years.... a rename of the LS-L. Im sure someone will correct me if im wrong

Re: Pluralizing SVX

Re: Pluralizing SVX
I put other because even though SVXi sounds interesting, pluralizing a noun with an i only applies to Latin nouns/pronouns, and the other choice, SVX's is not correct since 's indicates possession, not plurality.
I asked my wife, since she works in the reading, writing, and study skills lab at Linn-Benton Community College and has a handy little guide for such things, and she says that the correct pluralization is "SVXes."

Re: Pluralizing SVX
I always used SVXii, lol. Just liked the sound of it. I dont care if the grammar isnt right
As for the higher end thing, the 92 and 92 has LS-L, and after that, the high end was LS-i The breakdown is 92 - LS, LS-L 93 - LS-L 94 - LE, L, LS, LS-i 95 - L, LS, LS-i 96 - L, LS, LS-i 97 - And I think 97 only had LS-i, correct me if Im wrong But SVXi is only used in reference to multiple SVXi, SVXs, SVX'es lol

Re: Pluralizing SVX
I use SVXs, which is close to SVXes I suppose.
A lot of people use the latin SVXi, which is cute but technically incorrect. For it to be correct the singular would need to be SVXus. And it isn't. Joe [My wife has a problem with me pluralising. She says I have too many of them!]

Re: Pluralizing SVX
SVXs, no apostrophe. Plural means more than one, while an apostrophe conveys possession: There are two SVXs in the SVX's garage.
