What is the proper plural form of "gil"?

[Nakti]

Yes, this is a half-joking question, but I thought it might be worth asking SE because I feel it falls under the category of:

Does the question lend itself to possibly an interesting answer?

(btw, maybe one of the moderators should add the information from AKosygin's post to the sticky here?)

Within FFXI, there is conflicting data.

When I put something up for sale, I am asked "Put x item up for x gils?"
When I bid on something, I am asked "Bid x gils?"
But when I actually buy something, it says "You buy x for x gil." in the chat window.

Players will generally stick to one form or the other. Some even argue the "correctness" of their choice.

So which is the plural, SE? "gil" or "gils"

Please settle the arguments once and for all!

Well, I'm no S-E, and I've no answer for you, but that's a good question!

Not sure of the "official" view, but in every other FF game I can think of, Gil has been both the singular and the plural.

*checks wiki*

Surprisingly, Wikipedia doesn't say one way or the other.

I'm no gaming company that created the MMO you happen to be playing (as well as the games that preceded it) but I say it's gil. Always.

I would say to my ear, gil sounds like sheep, fish and money, singluar and plural ar the same. 'Gils' sounds like you would say 'Sheeps', which to me, sounds wrong... But i could be wrong also.

Re: What is the proper plural form of "gil"?

Gil (singular) and Gil (plural).

And I refuse to say it in any other way, period.

Gills are on fish. Gil are what you have in FFXI.

Its gil. It's always going to be gil. I don't care what the AH tries to tell me.

This was just changed with the last update btw. ><

I was going to actually list this in the pet peeves thread.

Yeah, I guess SE hired some new brillient developer who dosn't know sh*t about FFXI games and they think they fixed a grevious erros or something...

The plural for Gil is Gil, just like the plural for Gold is Gold and not Golds(in WoW[At least I hope thats how it is in WoW, I don't play it.])

Oh yeah, I agree 1 billion percent...why the hell'd they change it? It really is exceptionally annoying.

I thought it was a mistake, I didn't know someone did that intentionally...whoever that dude is needs to be term'd.
