One mink, two mink, three mink (preferred). Or minks. My unabridged Random
House states that the plural is mink, but minks may be used, especially when
referred collectively.
Personally, I prefer minkies ! It would not surprise me that some 10-20
years from now minks would be widely used and, therefore, end up legitimately
in the dictionary. On the other hand, if someone has a more recent dictionary
than my own, I wouldn't be surprised if that is already there.
Could it be that the word gurus want to avoid confusing minks with minx, an
entirely different animal

Subject: RE: Conducted emissions - frequencies lower than 150kHz
Is Minks the plural for 'Mink' or is it always Mink in both singular and
plural?
Have I been misinformed?
