Grammar guide follow-up ...

"Flanderses" and "Flanders" in the same episode. LOL. That MUST be a running joke, like someone said.

I continue to think that "The Flanderses", while correct, sounds funny. "The Flanders" (as in, "I'll be staying with the Flanders") sounds normal. Yes, it's wrong, you don't say "keeping up with the Jones"... but, hey...

You can just add an apostrophe or add an apostrophe-s (the latter is generally preferred, for obvious reasons).

Actually, since they were talking about the plural, not the possessive, neither is correct.

You are correct. Should be "Flanderses'." :-)

How about Flandi as the plural of Flanders: one Flanders, two Flandi. Or how about two Flandrim? Two Flandees? Two Flandra? Two Flandeaux? Two Flandyr?

Be realistic. It's "Flandae."

One has to wonder if issues like this were addressed at the National Grammar Rodeo.
