Euros and cents

    Dear colleagues,

    I have written an open letter to the Minister for Finance, Charlie McCreevy, about the serious problem we have in Ireland, namely, that the false plural without -s is used with the words "euro" and "cent" in Ireland and that this bad grammar is given to us all hundreds of times of day on television every day.

    If you have interest in sociolinguistic rights, see http://www.evertype.com/standards/euro/open-letter.pdf

    Spread the word.

    This really isn't the place to start a debate over Euro(s) and Cent(s).

    I'm sure there are other places on baords.ie where we can debate the proper gramatical rules of the English language.

    I would suggest Business/Economy or Politics, in the Society category.

    ATTN: Thread closed.
