I use meeple as both singular and plural. But I won't argue against someone using the word meeples. I will die on the hill in the argument between LEGO and LEGOs (LEGO is right btw. if you want to emphasize quantity, use Lego bricks or Lego parts)

Good point!

I've heard Meeples plenty of time, so I use that for plural. But now I want to start using Merson...

[@inspired2game]

Haha! It does have a certain ring to it. 😆

I agree. The creator doesn't get to decide how people use the word. Just like with a gif, it's not jif because it sounds stupid and no one says that without an army of people ready to correct them 😂

[@inspired2game]

Haha! Great example. We agree.

Oh well said Sean. So well done. Meeples is a word!!!! Maybe Merson will catch on now too lolol

#Gample as a new term for "Meeple" Board game enthusiasts know the tiny wooden pawns as "meeple," a term coined by Alison Hansel in 2000. But with trademark issues surrounding "meeple" I propose "Gample" combining #Game and #People, as a new universal term for any human or animal shape Meeple. "Gample" is short, memorable, and captures the essence of these pawns. Let's make "Gample" the new go-to word for uniting boardgamers everywhere!

[@inspired2game]

Great idea!
