How do you think iTouch should be spelled in its Plural Form?

    It bugs me so badly. Apple has never officially used the plural form of iTouch (to my knowledge) on their website or anything so how am I supposed to spell more than one iTouch! I think most people do iTouches but neither look right to me...plus "iTouches" always reminds me of the spelling of Douches. HAHA!! But seriously...doesn't it just irritate you?

    I'd probably just say iPods
    or just find some way to avoid using a plural

    Seriously...it doesn't. Of course Apple is not going to "use the plural form of iTouch on their website."
    The device is not even called an iTouch! :rolleyes:
    Most people call it by its' actual name--iPod Touch-- or they simply call it a "Touch."
    Pluralize it however you want.
    I think most people would just say "Touches."
    No reason to be irritated with Apple, though. It's not their job to come up with a plural for a name they didn't come up with...

    Definitely 'iPod Touches'. To make nouns that end in ''ch' plural, you add 'es', for example, torches or wrenches.

    it's iPod touch not itouch. Just like your DVD player isn't a D player.
    And the plural would be iPod touches

    It amuses me that the topic creator seems to think it's Apple that makes the choice on how the English language works.

    Plural Touches

    ipods touch

    It's the ipods that are plural–not the touches.
    (Although most are plurally touched–that doesn't seem to be what you want to indicate here.)
