What is stopping the various government entities, Maltese language bodies, financial institutions, etc. from strongly pointing out to the public, particularly cashiers in banks and stores, that the plural of euro is not euros but is internationally denoted as euro?

If this misuse of words is nipped in the bud, it will save us a lot of embarrassment at present and in the future when dealing with our counterparts in Europe. I am surprised that nobody from the multitude of authorities has taken steps to remedy this.

I wonder what visitors to this fair land say when they hear this new Maltese concoction, "euros".

Timely education is solicited.
