    		I have always called it a shuttlecock.

    Although the rules published on the site refer to a 'shuttle', the information service at the International Badminton Federation state that:

    'The device you strike while playing badminton can be called either shuttlecock or shuttle.'

    I am sure there is a proper term for when the letter 'S' is inadvertently added to the end of a word. For example, Sarah Connor (singular) may be automatically referred to as 'Connors'. Does anyone know what the proper name for this irritating phenomena is?
