A company representative asked me about the correct spelling for the plural of

dumbbell fly. Is it dumbbell flys or flyes? I have seen it both ways (Why isn't

it flies?).

Good question. I remember seeing only " flyes " but cannot say why this is.

Hi Tom,

A Yahoo search shows 69 100 results for flys, and 99 500 results for flyes.

A Google search shows 15 800 results for flys and 158 000 results for flyes.

The www.thefreedictionary.com defines FLYS as:

To move through the air by means of wings or winglike parts

But has no definition of FLYES.

My guess is that there is no correct spelling.
