    What is the plural of VehiCROSS?

    VehiCROSSES, VehiCROSSs, VehiCROSSi, VehiCROSSis, VehiCROSSen...

    Those of you who have watched Brian Regan will understan the last one.

    But I am curious as to what the answer is. There has to be an English major somewhere on the forums. Right???

    Well, English Major I am NOT, but I love a challenge!

    How about Vehicross X2 (or any applicable #), Vehicross', Vehicrossers, ...
    If you don't first THINK THINK, you could end up in deep DO DO!

    Well, I know 'en' is plural in German, but I like "VXes" personally.

    I was an English Major @ Texas Tech University...

    Vehicross is a noun...
    Words that end in -ch, x, s or s-like sounds, however, will require an -es for the plural.

    Therefore:

    Vehcrosses, VXes,

    Normally, we use apostophe when we create a plural form of a word that refers to a word, so VX's might be acceptable since VX isn't technically an acronym, more a slang, we do not use an apostrophe for a true acronym like Nasdaq. The exception would be an acronym that ends in an 's'.
    We sit together, my VX and I, until only the VX remains.

    Yep, my vote is on Vee-Exes.

    Or, as Brian Regan would put it, VehiCROSSen.

    Plural of VehiCross:

    "What in the world ARE THOSE?"
    "What the heck ARE THOSE?"
    "I have never seen ANY OF THOSE BEFORE."

    Singular:

    OX -> Oxen so, VX -> VXen. It is pronounced "Vixen".

    ...Did I mention I got the other VX calendar in the mail a few days ago?
