	advoca  +  10872 Thu, 16 Oct 03 05:59 AM If there are two people at a meeting who are called Jones, you could say, "There were two Joneses at the meeting. However, although the general rule is to add es to the name it becomes somewhat cumbersome with some names. For example, it looks most awkward if you said there were two Culbertsonses at the meeting, or two Edwardses, or two Bateses. But it is much better to rearrange the sentence to say there were two people called Jones at the meeting (Two people called Culbertsons, two people called Edwards, two people called Bates, and so on.) advoca Joined on Fri, Oct 10 2003 New Member 28 Plurals
