And money does not become monies it becomes moneys. Similarly trolley does not become trollies, it becomes trolleys. Trollies are something completely different from what you push round a supermarket. They are what you wear under your keks, ie knickers.

Actually, I've been thinking about this, and money does become monies... Checked the OED and its definition of monies is: 'plural form of money, as used in financial contexts.' It also recognizes both trolleys and trollies as the plural form of trolley and acknowledges it as the slang for underwear.

OK Sarzwix, I'll amend my original post from 'does not' to 'should not'. Just because the sloppy OED accepts it doesn't make it grammatically correct.

I'll just toddle off back into pedantry corner.
