A word that drives me around the bend: |
|
"Monies".
"Money" is already plural, isn't it? Why would anyone ever need to use the word "monies"? It makes them sound either pretentious or like a doofus, or both.
"Monies". Good grief.

1. If you were talking about different varieties of currency... |
|
"The monies of African countries" for example...
As you would use "fishes" if you were including several varieties of fish in your sentence.
