Plural of System on Chip
I came to this page hoping to find an example of the plural form of System on Chip. The article contains the plural form Systems on Chip. I’m hoping someone can confirm this is the correct plural form, and if so, because of its peculiarity, whether it can be stated at the beginning of the article? It sounds odd to my ear, especially in this example sentence: Arduino and Raspberry Pi are examples of Systems on Chip. I’m familiar with odd plurals, eg Governors-General. Maybe it’s just my misunderstanding. Prime Lemur (talk) 05:17, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
- In almost all spoken settings people would just use the term SoCs (ess-oh-seas, /[invalid input: '/ˈɛsoʊsiːz/']/ ), but if you were to say out the full thing it should be system-on-chips since there are multiple chips with a system on them, not multiple systems on the same chip.
