Sumo???'s

[Rowly]

I was wondering what is the Correct way of writing down more than one Sumo??? is it Sumo's, or Sumos' or Sumoes
Maybe its got Latin roots
Sumo
Sumas
Sumat

It would be a lot easier if we just called the car a pilgrim,
more than one Pilgrim would be Pilgrims, the collective term would be
"a proccesion of Pilgrims"
A journey in such a car would be a "Pilgrimage"
Qt "And Moses came down from the mountain in his Sumo" (His Triumph was still waiting for the bits for the hardtop)

Any Ideas for the collective term For Sumo's???????

This should be fun, can't wait for the barrage of obscenities that's bound to come in??

It should be Sumos.
Sumo's means belonging to a Sumo.
Sumos' would mean belonging to more than one Sumo.
Sumoes means more than one Sumoe.

A scrap yard!


I can say this as I've got one!

By the way, before I get a 'kicking' it was a joke!

I actually like my car alot and spank it at every opportunity! (It likes it)

The only way I can think of how to say it is if I was writing a letter to the Pilgrim boys asking for two of their chassis. This is how it would go.

Dear Mr Pilgim,
I am interested in building one of your Sumo cars, so please could you send me one Sumo Chassis.
Regards
Geoff
PS, Please send another


Well, I though that it was funny

Better to ask for 6 as they'll all be different anyway

It's simply Sumos, it may look strange but it's right. No apostrophe is needed. The feminine is suma and the plural of that is sumas.

A very strange choice of name for a sports car though: fat guy in a nappy!

You've obviously not met our club chairman.
