    What word in the english language is changed to plural when an X is added to it. The word begins with the letter B?

    Question #18669. Asked by Niki. (Apr 30 02 2:07 PM)

    		Beaux is the plural of beau. It's really a French word but the English adopted it and it is found in most English dictionaries.

    		This is mostly an issue with French nouns but I suppose that beau/beaux is common enough in English to count. Please extend my regards to your alter egos JC, JLC, and Janet.
