I have a post in the works reviewing the Bon Kyu! Bon Kyu! Bomb concert DVD which I just received yesterday in the mail. But I had to take a break and bring up something that has really become a pet peeve lately and bothers me to no end.
This would be the use of the word “yens” by several people online when referring to plural use of japanese currency.
There is no such word as “yens”. The Japanese do not say “yens”.
Yen is a singular and plural word at the same time, much like moose, deer and sheep. You can have 1 yen and you can have 100 yen.
Please stop saying yens.

I have the same problem with people at my school…they say “Ichigos” instead of “Ichigo”. It annoys the crap out me >_<
