These are too common blunders!

 Saturday, April 23, 2016

 Every time I walk past a shop and I see "Books and Stationeries sold here", I tend to wonder how much people have abused that word "stationery", thinking you can add "ies" to form its plural.

 CAUTION: The word "stationery" must not take on 'ies' in any case whatsoever. i.e. "stationery" is always "stationery". Same applies to "jewellery" and "cutlery". Never attempt to add "ies" to them, please!
