I Was Hoping For 'Edmonton Eggs,' But Nah

Okay, so the CFL's Edmonton... er, EE Football Team, the team formerly known by a name for indigenous people that was unfortunate, has done what the NFL team in Washington hasn't been able to accomplish quite yet and has chosen a new name, the Edmonton Elks. One thing to note: "Elks" is not the proper plural for "Elk." The plural of "Elk" is "Elk." But, as a linguist noted to CTV, pluralizing what amounts to a proper name means adding that "s" is okay (as is an aberration like Maple Leafs instead of Maple Leaves). But we don't do that for other singular team names. Miami Heats? (CTV)
