Clons

/ˈkloʊnz/ noun

Definition

A variant or dialectal plural of clone (sometimes used in non-standard English).

Etymology

Variant plural of clone, using -s ending; non-standard since the standard plural is 'clones.'

Kelly Says

This variant shows how language naturally creates plural forms—some non-standard speakers use 'clons' just as some say 'childs' instead of 'children,' showing how pluralization rules are learned and sometimes reapplied creatively.
