What is the proper way to make the last name "Jacobs" plural?
963845
I had a section of this taught to me in 10th grade and it still confuses me sometimes.  Anyway, the correct answer is Jacobses, even though it looks lengthly.  A lot of times people get engraved things written down wrong.

hmmm... I live in the USA and I have never really heard that in particular.  But I may be able to supply some additional input.\n\nIt is fairly common for us to use less formal versions of our names. Very often you will see, William being call Bill, or Robert being called Bob.  Even some females do this. Elizabeth is often called Betty, or Catherine, Cathy. Some even actually even use two of them at once, like Billy Bob.\n\nIt is possible, that calling Mohammed Moe, is nothing more than a sign of acceptance.\n\n\n\nAdded Note;\n\nI personally prefer the more formal versions.  My name is Chyrelanne.  I do not care for it when people call me Chyrel.  I usually correct them, by pointing out that Chyrelanne is just one word.\n\n\n\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApgRAIGflrDpqJFd6oXrOlbsy6IX?qid=1006022811250

"Proper" is difficult to answer.\n\nSomeone with a JD has earned a doctorate, and just like any other doctoral degree can use "Dr." in front of their name. \n\nCustomarily, it's not done by attorneys, however, and most other attorneys would likely look down on someone who uses that prefix.\n\nSame with priests, by the way. Many have Doctorates in Theology or Divinity, but use "Reverend" rather than "Doctor" as the salutation.\n\nPersonally, I've been debating this point for a while now. I have a Doctorate in Divinity, but didn't use "Dr." before. Next week I finish law school and get my JD. I've been debating whether having the two doctorates is 'good enough' for me to use the prefix, even though customarily neither one alone commonly does.

There are two ways to do names in Hebrew. The first way would be to transliterate the names, so that in reading the Hebrew, one would be saying 'Brian' or 'Louisa.' \n\nThe other way is to take the meanings of the two names and translating the meanings of the two names into Hebrew. For example, in English my name is Stuart. The meaning of the name stuart/stewart, like a stewardess on an airplane, is one who takes care of something. The meaning translated into Hebrew would be Shomron, from the word shomer, a guard. Or i could just take the word 'Stuart' and spell it with Hebrew letters.

The appropriate written form is Mr. InsertNameHere.  This is also appropriate for personal meetings as well, though "sir" is generally substituted during the content of the conversation as appropriate.  It is perfectly acceptable to use an alternative form of address if they ask you to do so: "Please, call me Tony."

I think Scotch Gaelic, it seems to be a misspelling. Mo=my\ndachaidh=home, that's the best i could find.

There are so many different rules for forming plurals.  \n\nwolves - Words ending in f or fe \nFor most of these words, change the f or fe to v before adding es, e.g. leaf - leaves.  Watch out for the words that don't fit this rule, e.g. chief - chiefs. To help work out the exceptions to the rule listen for the change in the sound when you say the word. \nSome exceptions: roof = roofs, chief = chiefs, belief = beliefs, chef = chefs, cafe = cafes, handkerchief = handkerchiefs, safe = safes.\n\ncrayons - For most words, just add s.  This is the most common way to make a plural e.g. bike- bikes.\n\nchildren and deer - These are irregular plurals and don't follow any rules.\n\ncities - If there is a consonant before the y, change the y to i before adding es, e.g. lady- ladies.  If there is a vowel before the y, just add s, e.g. toy - toys.\n\ngases, bushes, and couches - Words ending in x, sh, ch or s:  For words ending in x, sh, ch or s add es, e.g. church = churches.\n\nCheck these sites.  I hope this helps.

Common, proper, singular, plural, and possessive (singular possessive and plural possessive).\n1.  The ocean is blue.  Ocean  is common.\n2.  New York is a great city to visit.

The correct spellings are:\n\nJulie -- ג'ולי \nCari -- קרי -- NOT קארי, because if you add that extra letter, it means "curry" (the spice!)

Just add the "s" like most English plurals for "muskrats".

Usually you list the man's name first.  When writing Mr. and Mrs---- It isn't usually the proper way to write it as Mr. and Mrs. Bob and Sue Smith.  Kind of like calling Bob a Mrs. ya know?  \n\nAlso, it is also written as Mr. and Mrs. Bob Smith, because if the wife took her husband's name, traditionally she takes the full name, calling herself Mrs. (husband's first name and lastname).

Personally I wouldn't recommend it,as it's not proper spelling or grammar. Mrs.or Mr.for married women and men OR Mister.  Miss $ Master for young people. Ms. if you're not sure. Sir or Madam,to be formal. Hope this helps.

See the link below for the source of the following:\n\nQ: When writing to someone who claims the title ''Esquire," I was taught to leave off the designations Mr., Mrs., or Ms. Also, what is the proper usage of Esquire when sending an invitation to a couple?\n\nA.W., Green Bay, Wis. \n\nA: ''Esquire" is a professional designation in the legal arena, not a social designation. When you correspond with a lawyer, you have two choices: Write the person using a normal salutation (''Mr. Robert Jones" or ''Ms. Cynthia Adams") or put ''Esquire" after the name, using the abbreviated form (''Robert Jones, Esq." or ''Cynthia Adams, Esq.").\n\nYou would never use both the courtesy title of Mr. or Ms. and the professional designation of Esquire. Finally, when writing to a lawyer and his or her spouse, never use ''Esq." Instead, address the couple as ''Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones."
