It's English. It's just irregular. However, the spelling "moneys" is also
acceptable. Of course, "money" is also used as a plural term in itself.
("Give me some money.")

Why is "monies" the plural of "money?" To open two different locks do you need a pair of kies? Or if you're conducting a series of polls, are you taking survies? Just wondering... Dave! (24 years ago, 9-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
