Singular: demoman
Plural: demomen
Singular possessive: demoman's
Plural possessive: demomen's
Further, the truth of the matter is that there should be a space between demo and man or men, as demo is an abbreviated form of demolition.

you cant "thunk", silly
that would make the past tense of sh!t be shat, which is definately a word..

Sometimes you make very little sense to me... other times, I don't understand you at all.

Hoax has it right.
and in latin it is
Nominative Singular: Deletus Vir
Nominative Plural: Deleti Vires
Genitive Singular: Deleti Viris
Genitive Plural: Deletorum Virum
thats your latin course for the day
-KK
P.S. Genitive is the possesive form and Nominative is the normal form

not all verb conjugations follow regular patterns....hence irregular verbs a fun part of learning foreign languages!! |
