Spoiler: Rejected word Sat 6.3.10

Cuties not allowed?

Whilst it has acquired a rather tacky association in recent years, it's still a word in common use, isn't it?

Hi, cb! Cuties isn't allowed because of the usual rule about plurals; the singular of cuties is cutie, and cutie is allowed. I've never, ever, seen it spelled cuty.

Thanks RM.  You are, of course, totally correct.  I must have been having a brain-fade moment.  Some 'ies are accepted but I just wasn't thinking properly. 
Apologies to all.
