For eg. <BR><BR>-The exchange rate for 88 American is a hundred European. <BR><BR>-This room costs a hundred european. It comes with free breakfast.<BR><BR>-The British refuses to convert to european. They prefer to be in pound.<BR><BR>- "Although it Italy Hertz, you can't rent an automobile with liar, sir. It has to be European now."<BR><BR>- Europeans will replace all old wrinkled money come Feb 17.

Actually, even though it sounds funny to me, it was supposed to be "euro" in English in England, but "euros" in other places, and the EU uses "euros" on its own web site. That's the way you normally pluralize words in English and many other languages, I think "euro" would be odd. I think even though they decreed for some reason it should be "euro" in England, the Bank of Eng. added an s anyway, and now that's the way it's used there. I've read that, and here is their official document on plurals in various languages<BR>http://europa.eu.int/euro/html/dossiers/00219/00219-en.pdf<BR><BR>An odd bit of trivia, but I think that the Lego company (they are Swedish or Danish, aren't they?) says that "Lego" is the plural of that toy, also, so maybe that explains why they were supposed to say "euro", also, for the plural. I mean, would you say that your kid had about 100 Lego?
