'Aesthetic Grounds' prb?! "Blueys" just looks like someone left an apostrophe out.

rjs - I'll put it on the pro bono account, after all its clearly in the public interest to sort these important issues out.

So my argument goes something like this:
1. They are properly referred to as the "Blue Mountains".
2. "Blue Mountains" is plural.
3. One of those mountains would be appropriately referred to as a "Blue Mountain".
4. In abbreviated form, one mountain would be referred to as a "Bluey".
5. The plural (to get back to an abbreviation of the plural stated in 1) of a "Bluey" is obviously "Bluies".
QED

Arguments on aesthetic grounds and nothing more must fail because truth is beauty, and in this case truth is analogous to grammatical.

... ok now back to those 6min units...
