Incorrect spelling

journies

Incorrect spelling, explanation: when the word ends with a vowel and consonant y we add s at the end to create a plural form. This is why the plural form of journey is journeys, not journies. Y transforms to ie only with words ending with a consonant before the final y. For example, the plural of day is days, but the plural of duty is duties. Therefore the correct form here is journeys.


Correct spelling

journeys

Correct spelling, explanation: journeys is the plural form of the noun journey. This word comes from the French journee, meaning a day (day’s journey). Original spelling points to journey being the correct form, therefore the plural form will be journeys. While words ending with y after a consonant transform this consonant to ie when adding s at the end (berryberries), journey ends with vowel+y, that’s why we do not transform this letter (just like toytoys; boyboys). That is the reason why journies is incorrect.
