akaladis Veteran Posted January 14, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 14, 2005 I just noticed the "Our guide to preventing spywares"... Shouldn't it be spyware instead of spywares? Unless of course you say "Let's buy some hardwares" :p /Raptor Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271533-spywares/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffan Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 you can spell spyware with a "s". you can also spell adware with a "s" as well. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271533-spywares/#findComment-585294722 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eisbaer Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Hmm, a whole thread about whether or not an s can be added to the word ...ware. Even Webster's dictionary shows that it is indeed permissable. If that is the only thing to complain about in the mentioned guide then hats off to whoever made it ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271533-spywares/#findComment-585294798 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony T. Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I am pretty sure that spyware can be a uni/plural word. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271533-spywares/#findComment-585294927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdodson Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 It's 'spyware' and 'adware' not 'spywares'. 'Spyware' is both singular and plural. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271533-spywares/#findComment-585294955 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code.Red Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 It looks odd, but I'm pretty sure its gramitcally correct. Perhaps if they changed the article to also say Spywares? The article says spyware, without an s, so im not sure. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271533-spywares/#findComment-585295196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
