    What might be the longest word in the English language that can be transformed from its plural to a singular form by adding an s?

    Question #60082. Asked by peasypod. (Oct 19 05 5:06 PM)

    		"Princes" would become "princess". The only other possibility I can up with before serving dinner is "multimillionaires" - "multimillionairess".

    Probably not long enough, but I've got a Choucroute garni to attend to.

    		That's the one I had in mind, unless someone comes up with something bigger, you get the yay.
