	abstract     = {The article discusses lexicographic perspectives of the Swedish plural with the suffix -s. Traditionally, plural nouns ending in -s, for example avokados ‘avocados’, are considered colloquial
speech; the formal way of writing the plural in question is avokador or avokadoer. However, since
the Swedish Academy grammar included a noun declension indicating plurals with the suffix -s,
plural with -s seems to have become more accepted, at least among language planners.},
