Terms of endearment shouldn't be plural

[edit]

The nature of a term of endearment is that it applies to the person being addressed, not to multiple people. 47.214.189.214 13:17, 16 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

This plural form is widely attested, e.g. see google books:"with their sweeties". It may be used in the plural just as "loved ones". This is often but not always used vocatively. —Svārtava (talk) • 13:37, 16 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
