English

Y'know, like the language.

Notes

  • Names and other proper nouns become plural simply by adding an s. They do not form their plurals with an apostrophe. e.g. "The Flannerys are having us over", not "The Flannery's..." (source)

  • Awhile is an adverb that means "for a while," whereas "while" is a noun meaning "a period of time." Generally, you should use the two word form, "a while," when following a preposition (I will read for a while), or with the words ago or back (a while ago/back). The singular word "awhile" should be used to modify a verb (I will wait awhile) and can usually replace any usage of "for a while." (source)
