What are monies, how do they compare to moneys?
(lemmy.world)
Multiple different kinds of currency, I think -- or distinct pots of money in some contexts where it's relevant that they're separate. (Are you reading financial/legal documents or something like that?) I'm not sure there is a difference besides spelling preference.
Either that or someone's affecting an accent. ๐๏ธ
It's the pots/envelopes explanation or income streams is how I hear monies used. Moneys would refer to types of currency since money is an uncountable noun. Like fish and fishes.
Just a funny way to say money. No idea if it can be used in a serious context.
