Duplexs

/ˈduːplɛks/ noun

Definition

An alternative or nonstandard plural of duplex (the correct plural being duplexes).

Etymology

Formed by adding the regular plural suffix -s to duplex, though the standard plural is duplexes. This represents a common overgeneralization of English plural rules.

Kelly Says

English plurals are tricky—words ending in -x usually add -es, but people often just add -s, creating 'duplexs' even though 'duplexes' is correct.
