Well, McIntosh and Delicious both end with sounds in the "s" family, so
it sounds funny to add an "s". But I've heard people advertise "Macs",
"Macouns", "Jonathans", "Spies", and lots of other types of apple in
that form, so it doesn't sound at all weird to me to hear
"Honeycrisps".

FYI, you may find this amusing, although it really bugs me when they
say 'Honecyrisps!!!' Do we say McIntoshs, or Delicious's???

While we are on the subject, MN-1914 (aka 'NBT') has hit the industry
media lately, anyone have any comments (they want to publicly share)
on a new era of apple growing?
