On rallyists and computers:

My word processing software (Word, by Microsoft) doesn't understand "rallyist." I've seen in some cases that it tries to "correct" it to ralliest so I thought I'd do a search and confirm.

The proper description for someone who rallies is indeed "rallyist."

You can now safely fix your spell checker knowing in your heart that "rallyist" is indeed the proper way to sling those letters together when describing those crazy people in the forest we all love.

along the same lines, what is the plural of Rally(e)? Rallys, rallies, rallyes? the dictionary states "Rallies" is correct, but it just doesn't look right in our context...

 

[rallyist]

It's always been "Rallyist" for me

Rallyist

 

[rallytaff]

Rallies is the plural.

 

[jprowland]

"Rallyes" are for those blokes with rallye tyres.
