This may be an ill-defined question since it arose from trying to pluralise a word that has come from French, I wanted to pluralise a pair flaneurs of different genders.
Flaneur comes from the French flâneur
, which has the French feminine form flâneuse
and plural flâneuses
.
When pluralising in English, should I ignore gender, use one over the other or use the french pluralisation?
Is there an English rule for mixed gender noun pluralisations?
