Hello Megumi,Vichada and my fans, this is my first post as a V.I.P member in The Wilder group. I found somethings really cool about grammar. The main ideas of this episode is about answering some question that came from the reader. It's interested because all of the questions for example "How should sur names be pluralized? Our name ends in ‘x.' However, people almost always greet our family by simply pronouncing our name, ‘Hey, Bruyninckx!' even though there are five of us." or "I have a concern with the use of the term 'antisocial.' Commonly people use it to mean someone who shies away from social contact. In medicine it refers to someone who doesn't adhere to the usual societal rules, like a habitual criminal. Is one meaning more proper?" are the same to mine( maybe it's also what you are questioning for) and the answer was pretty good.

It was an interesting topic, but I didn't get how sur names should be pluralized in the end. explain please!
Well Megumi-kun, first thanks your comment,well i think your question had been answered in the last paragraph and it should be " noun ending with n ch, sh, s, ss, x, z, or zz are usually form plurals by adding es". i hope it can help you to solve your problem ^.^.
Andy thank you for your interesting topic. First, I was confused with the last question like Megume, why sur name should be pluralized. Like my last name, I don't need Georges. However, my friend told me in a informal language we can use "s" after the last name. For example, when we are referring about several individuals from a single family we can use "s" such as Kennedys
Thanks for sharing this resource, Randyortan.
I like the question about how to pluralize sur names (last names). Even though the rule you described seems so straightforward for common nouns, I (and I think a lot of other people!) forget that the same rule holds true for names. That's pretty important for me since my name ends in "ch".
