Tesco or Tescos?

[Richie]

It really annoys me when people call the shop "Tesco" Tescos.

Why add a random "s" onto the end of the word? Does that mean you should say Asdas? Should you say Drayton Manors?

The logo of Tesco is:

There is no S.

The website is www.tesco.com, not www.tescos.com.

I know some people are going to say that there are more than 1 Tesco store in the world, but that isn't the point. You are only going to be visiting one Tesco and there should be no "s". It's like saying do you want a chewing gums because there is more than one packet of chewing gum in the world.

So, do you call the shop "Tesco" Tesco or Tescos?

To be honest, i can't say it's something that keeps me awake at night. But i'll admit i do occassionally say, and hear people saying "I got it from Tescos", it just seems to make the sentence flow better and feels more natural than stopping on an O sound.

As long as I understand what people are talking about I don't care. But I say Tesco.

 

[Ormerod]

For me its, ''Mum I'm going to Tesco's , what do you want?''

 

[Louis!]

The only time I say Tescos is when I am talking about more than one Tesco therefore it becomes a plural, Tesco's. So yeh, Tesco for me!

It's just the way we British speak, we are lazy with our language, so to some people if adding an extra 's' to Tesco is natural/easier I suppose they would say Tescos not Tesco. That is why English is one of the hardest languages in the world to learn, because of our damn lazyness.

We also have the most words of any language, and so it's also the most descriptive and the best, but this isn't a debate about that.

 

[Mike]

Tescos, because it's easier to say.

 

[Tom9]

I go to ASDA, I only go Tesco Express, so Tesco for me.

 

[Snoo]

Its kinda weird, but humans do that to some words for no real reason.

For instance, the finals of track and field in Ohio is the "State" track meet, but most athletes i knew say... "I'm going to States"

Its a weird phenomenon.

You wouldn't say Asdas or Somerfields, so why say Tescos?
